from what i understand, you can control all of the same things that HP controls. line pressure, shift rpm, shift drop back, and converter lock up for each gear. i'm not sure if it's capible of locking at WOT yet.

Depending on which converter you go with you could lock it up in 2nd. Supposedly that is what alot of syclone/typhoon guys do

is it ok to lock in 2nd and shift to 3rd while locked? the final decision will be based on track times. with the silverado i never saw a difference in track times by locking it....it felt better locked and i had that expensive tripple disk converter so i locked it. the track said that it ran the same though. i probably wont get the tripple disk for this build.

Do not shift while the coverter is locked, you can break the input shaft.

I don't know if the one I sent you the link to. Will work for what you need but at least it could give you a idea on how to set one up.

i think that that setup is to run with their TCU. i think the FAST TCU requres a factory style TPS.

the seller sold me a TPS with the harness and he was running a carb also...wouldnt it be badass if all of the hardware was included to attach it to my carb. fingers crossed

i just got a text back from the seller. it has all of the needed hardware to make it work from what i understand it has a cable that connects to the carp and acts just like a kickdown cable (whatever the hell that is lol) this carb stuff is all new to me!
