It depends a lot on what rear gearing you have. The TCC lockup logic evaluates VSS input.
Back when I had 3.42 gears and a Vigilante 2800rpm stall TC, I liked 50mph for lockup and 35mph for unlock. Lower than 50mph lock and it would bog the engine.

If you have the ability to burn your own PROMs, then you just need to experiment. I leave mine at the stock setting of around 40MPH. My personal feelings is that I wouldn't go past 45-46 MPH.
