the original tune was just headers and a 2800 yank converter.
what has been added is the intake manifold and the bigger stall

Did you change the speedometer section in your tune for the gear ratio? Did you tell the system to auto scale the transmission tables?

If you didn't auto scale, the shift points do not get moved automatically in relation to the new axle ratio or tire size change. It changes the shift MPH settings in a few tables. You may want to try that.

If you are talking about the Shift Lock, no. That keeps the torque converter locked during shifts. Not usually a good idea.

There are a few things that can. Spark knock will keep the TCC from engaging, the MAF can mess with the trans shifts and pressure. I am sure a speed sensor will also do this.

Max out your misfire tables and see if it'll lock.
