Default Can the Predator set TC lockup ?

only shift points correct? It can't set the actual lockup after 3 -4 shift.
Thanks

There is no setting access on the old Predator.
It looks like they have a new version out (or at
least advertised) which might, or not, offer more
in this area. The original one seemed to push on
the part throttle settings as well as the WOT
MPH/RPM, in my recollection (been years since I
used mine at all). But no TCC controls, which is
one thing, the key thing that made me jump at
HPTuners 1.01 when it hit the streets.

Thanks Jimmy,
Ya your right Predator really just lets you setting the MPH vs RPM shift for WOT. So if your just cruising mode your at the mercy of the computer.
I find when I take my Predator Tune out of the car the computer the converter locks up real early, but when I put my tune in it really stretches out the shifts even at light throttle cruise mode and you really can't feel the TC lockup verses untuned mode.
Maybe Ill play around with the 1-2,2-3,3-4 MPH settings and get it to shift a little sooner if it will let me.
Thanks

I fiddled around with shift mph and did not really do anthing. So I put them back to my original settings.
It seems when I put the tune in that it really doesn't feel like the TC locks up. At 60mph im reving around 2100 rpm.
Hmmmm
