Default Torque Converter?

I have EFI Live & Yank TT3000, I dont think I ever exactly got that part of the tune exactly right. When looking at the TCC portion of the Tansmission Calibration what should my settings be as far as locking & unlocking? Can somebody give me an idea of what it should be set at? Thanks.

with that small of a converter, stock lock up mph (38) should be fine.

What about the TCC Throttle release, The stock tune is set @ 100% & I currently have mine set @ 95%. Let me know what you think.

Mine is set to lock up at about 60mph, and unlock around 50. This with the 2800 stall speed.
That seems to work best for the hilly area I live in, keeping me from having to up/down shift constantly

I have and 3000 as well, and set mine to lock in 4th only, at 55 mph, unlock at 50. If I go any lower, my truck surges like a mug because it keeps trying to lock and unlock repeatedly. Even did it with the stock TC. My truck must have a defective TC solenoid or something. Even if yours doesn't do the surge, you might want to raise the 3rd gear lock to 250 mph and just lock it in 4th to help driveablity.
