Torque Converter Lockup Switch for Carb Swap

I am just about done with my carb swap and the option of the tc lockup switch seems like a good one. when exactly would i use it, and in the tech articles it says i can get a couple tenths and a couple mpg off of using it. so basically, when would i use it racing, when would i use it on the street, and how would i notice if its working. can someone try to give a brief explanation of how it works too? thanks so much.
