TCC Lockup Temperature

Hey guys does anyone know in HPTuners where to change the settings for the converter lockup temperature? Right now mine doesnt lock till the trans temp reaches 68ºF but I want to lower that to around 50ºF or so. I thought I remember seeing this setting in the past but I've been looking and cant find it. '98 T/A. Thank you.

I'm 99.99% sure you cannot change it.

Not locking up until 68deg. is to help warm the fluid.

yea i know its just that i live a quarter mile from the highway so unless its summertime, the first few minutes of highway driving is unlocked and with a 3600 stall it sucks. no other car ive ever had has had this warmup thing so i was hoping to change it to a slightly lower temp so i can hop on the highway and be at speed without revving the hell out of it.

Warm it up a little longer, and while doing so put it in drive or reverse, which will warm the fluid faster than in neutral due to the converter slippage while standing still.

I do have 3.42 gears though so that might make them feel looser than if i had a higher ratio.
