Keep the converter unlocked over 75% throttle.

I have been working with Fastchips (they were recomended when I bought the charger, and I have just stuck w/ them), but I am sick of having to send my PCM to Oaklahoma for updates and being down for 5 days at a time. Currently the torque converter is locking in 3rd at WOT and the truck wont down shift out of OD above 65 MPH. Not to Hijack the thread but does anybody know if Nelson or Westers has a good tune for my set up? (see sig)

Thanks

I have a local shop that will dyno tune but they don't seem to have much experience and want major $$$ for a tune, he quoted me 14-$1,800!!

the better gas you run the more agressive he can make it
also let him know your mods
especially the trans go
