I slapped my first self-written tune on the '05 yesterday. Decent results so far, but I've got a few areas to improve on. My question: One of the things I really liked about the default Brenspeed tune that came with the kit was that I could let off the gas whenever I wanted and the converter would unlock. This made passing, scooting up hills, etc very effortless and nice- I'd just let off the gas for a second, tap the gas and have the RPMs climb quick.
Now, the damn converter stays locked almost all of the time. It's a bit annoying as it feels like I'm lugging the engine. All of the converter/trans settings were copied over from a default Paxton/Vortech non-IC'd tune.
Looking in Advantage, I would assume that I need to modify the "Trans Converter Unlock (2-5)" tables under Shift/lock Schedule > Torque Converter. However, the lowest TP available in these tables is 50 (or greater depending on the gear). I'd assume that I'd want to select 0 TP and make the MPH very low (but, TP doesn't go that low in these tables).
Right below this section I found the "Torque Converter MSA" area, with the "Trans Converter Unlock (1-5) MSA". These tables appear to be ALREADY set up to what I'd want, assuming they do what I'd expect- for 0 TP, the converter unlock is set to 21.5 MPH across the board. Should I lower this to 1 MPH or something?
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated, as always. Thanks!
