Default Sorry Another Trailblazer TC Tuning Question

Welp tomorrow im takin my truck down to the dealership and havin them warrenty the tranny. and i was going to get a trailblazer torque converter for it since i dont have the money to get a racing one untill later.

My question is for you tuner guys. what all needs to be changed in the software when going to a different stall..does the torque converter need to lock up on upshifts or not..ive heard some people say not to have it lock up but i dont know..also i'll be towing my race car to the track this summer and would this be ok to tow with? also do these do well with nitrous?

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated on this one.
Thanks

If you do nothing then your tm w/still be active. If you tune you can adjust shift points.

a 160 stat w/keep engine coooler and trands cooler-and a trans cooler.

someone @silveradoss said to tow in third so that it would not lock up and make less heat???but that too could be changed with tuning.

good luck, I love mine b/c it is very noticable in an improved ride.

at minimum you'll likely want the shift points fixed. a higher stall can often cause the engine to hit the rev limiter before making the shift if you are set up to have the stock stall.
