    +1, I was thinking the same question as Erik, table(s) for keeping TCC locked on throttle release.

    What, locking your converter at WOT? Its in the latest T42 cals, I imagine you're hoping for them to be added to the LS1B cals?

    Still would LOVE to have the ability to keep the TCC locked with 0% TPS in truck tunes, running a car TCM OS only works for certain year vehicles!

    Bump from the past, would really love to have the ability to keep the TCC locked at 0% TPS...Im betting it'd drive some business towards EFILive because no one has it right now.

    When the TCC stays locked on throttle release, the vehicle feels different, more like a manual transmission vehicle...

    and the TCC lockup delay is avoided on reapplying throttle

    ( of course this is all within envelope of the TCC apply/release tables )

    Exactly, highway driving is SO MUCH nicer when you can let off the gas if someone cuts you off then ease back into it and the converter is still locked. Especially with larger converters.
