Tcc Lockup

Guys,

For racing were should I have my TC lock up?

It is set for 46 MPH on the highway, but not real sure when it locks when racing. Kept forgetting to look, but could feel it was in 2nd gear.

Just wanted to hear what you guys like.

You'll have to check in your bin but I think in most applications it is set to auto lock above 75 MPH. Some have claimed gains from it locking up but most say it's not the best thing for the TCC. I would tend to agree both are true but would choose on not destroying the TCC since it'll probably take out the tranny on its way out.

Some prefer to not lock until around peak power ,sometimes it will
just pull rpm down to a bad range if its locked right at the shift.

For the life of your TC I would recommend setting the auto lock to an unreachable mph for racing. Just set it back to 75 if you want for street driving.

It will still lock up on the highway right?

does it have a function for WOT and highway?

I know it locks at 46 MPH when highway driving, but always forget to look when racing it. I remember seeing something in the bin that is set to 79 MPH. Can someone clear this up for me.

Thanks guys.
