Default Torque Convertor lockup question

I am running a Yank SS4000 TC in my 2000 C5. The problem that I am having is while driving on the highway, the TC continues to go in and out of lockup. What can I do to keep it locked?

Go faster. Seriously, you need someone to look at it with some software and get your shift & tc tables dialed in for you.

hmm, a couple of things. Do you have the software to mess with anything? Do you have a cam? Autos are very sensitive and tricky to track down problems. One thing is the misfire thresholds.Another is the TPS theres a section that you can change and then it should be fine. Also has anything at all been adjusted for the converter?

Lock/unlock is most likely misfires, probably just false
hits from the lighter weight converter magnifying the
crank ripple seen. Get the tables bumped up until it
quits hassling. But make sure first that there isn't
some true misfire problem, which would manifest as
one cylinder's misfire counts being much higher than
the rest. If it's all random appearing then you have to
just raise the bar.

Thanks for the advice guys. I do have a cam and LS1-edit. I am messing around with different values in the trans pages. I just wondered if there was anything else that I was missing.
