Mine does not act like that and mine is loose as hell... i can put along under 2k decently, but at half throttle it will hit 4k easy.... if you have to rev it to 3k before it even moves then something is broke or the verter is completely screwed....

The lockup on that converter is HORRIBLE. It's either in your tune or that converter clutch is toast.

It's prolly the tune. Hasn't been retuned since the stall. Plus if your talkin bout the second video I let off slightly at the end so it looked like it fell back.

Oh another question. Say I'm driving along anywhere from 40 to 55 the converter is locked up. It locks and unlocks constantly until I give it heavier throttle and speed up to 55+. Drives me nuts

Thats the tune man mine did the same and justin changed it in the tune and its fine now and i was gonna say it looks like you had your 3rd gear lockup enabled at the end but if you let off i guess thats what it was... Seems normal to me

Not gonna say I told ya so at all but it doesnt look like anything I'd put in something of mine. The lockup looks terrible tuning or not... My truck with stock tuning, built up trans, and even the stock converter lock nice and crisp...

Like I said, it's based off a front wheel drive converter...

It's not like I installed the gears to match anything. They are soon to be replaced. Btw. Why not? I don't believe in overgearing a vehicle. It just doesn't work well. I'm still gonna be able to get decent gas mileage with these gears
