Possible tune problems?
 
I have been having some problems with my truck since I changed cam, 2600 stall torque converter and nelson tune. My tc takes forever for it to lockup. Sometimes a few miles before it will lockup. It will unlock when going slow through town and I don't think it should be doing this. This is my first stall converter and I have never rode in a vehicle with one so I am not sure how they should work. It also feels like I am losing power cruising down the highway like it may be pulling the timing or something. Nelson has already desensitized the knock sensors some but it didn't seem to help. I found that I had a bad tps but it didn't fix the problems I am having. Any suggestions on what I should do next? What kinds of software can I get to monitor things like the timing and would it be worth getting since I already have a nelson tune?

You might be gettin some random misfires goin on because of the stall causing it to unlock.Talk to nelson and ask him if he did anything with them because if not that may be your problem.

Anybody else have any opinions before I contact Nelson tomorrow?

All I can say is even for a tuner with as much experience as Allen it's got to be difficult to nail a tune over the phone.

You dont mention where your located, possibly someone in your area could log a few runs and supply that info to Nelson?

I am in Mississipppi. I don't know of anyone that has a dyno or anything else to log any information to give to Nelson. Thats why I was wondering if there was anything that I could get to help get this right.
