    I'll mess with it and see what my LT1 does on it. I can set mine easily to stay locked on decel.

    I'll let you know what issues I see.

    It is not cool to do... Drove it for 60 miles today (100 or so KM). It is ok on initial decel, but under a light resume to cruise or accelerate it has a rough bump and the dampers in the TC are taking a lot of loading. A heavier throttle apply unlocks the TCC quickly and this is ok.

    And if you have DFCO setup, it can interfere in say 40-55 mph (65-90 km/h) at light throttle cruise where DFCO is kicking in and the car starts to decel and then throttle is applied when power is needed and the engage/decel gets rough. Not cool at least on my 5000lb/2200+ kg land yacht. I have 3.42's and 28in tall tires.

    I don't recommend at all. I would bet TCC life would be greatly shortened.

    IF you do not use DFCO, this is quite possibly tolerable, but I still think TCC life would suffer, I don't think the loads on it shifting from negative to positive are good at all.

    You need to tweak it and your DFCO timing tables to get it smoother .....it can be done.

    I don't have much in the DFCO settings like the LS1. Mine are often simpler, but less options to choose from. So I can't vary much more than I already posted the screenshot (again, this is from the Corvette, but very very similar to my current settings)

    I have set mine to 750 rpm disable, 950 rpm enable, and a 1.2 sec delay. Enable MAP at 26 kPa, disable MAP at 34 kPA. The only timing setting I have is ignition timing. I can set exit blending too, that is about it.

    i think its set to not stay locked on decel to let the revs fall down and save on gas.
