These settings were used from its maiden 12.3x @ 3,900lbs to its 10.7x pass at 3,525lbs. All on the same stock 80e.

Min lock up % was set to 99% and max was set to 100%.

I have done other large vetter 80e's in similar fashion with out issue. Maybe I am just getting lucky?

I wish I could actually tell you, thats part of why it bothers me. The tuning part I'm learning from the best, but the "knowing wtf the auto trans is actually doing" part is where im behind the curve. None of the cars I'm referencing have come off of a tune we did, but (myself included) I've seen probably 5 now that have had aftermarket lockup converters get wrecked by 2 tuners at 2 facilities.

Once the owner told us the tuner had "set everything to lock in 3rd", which could mean anything. Another car had a log showing tcc lock being commanded at almost every TPS, but nothing weird in the tune. That lead us to believe that the tuner had set the TCC apply tables all really low and tried to force lockup through the whole pull, then just set it back....then we had a self-tuned car come in, saying a dyno operator did almost exactly the same thing to his tune because the car "wasn't putting down the right numbers".

Where are you setting your min and max lockup %? I only see the speed TCC release settings (which are all TPS and Speed based) and the Offset TCC table in the other tab.
