Hey guys im getting new chips burned and want to know what mph are your chips programed to lock converter in 3rd gear? I will be useing a 28 inch slick with 9x11 3500 stall.I dont want it to lock up to soon and the car drop on its ass,or to late.
 
75mph was about right for me. I had my chip programmed when I had 26" tires, so now it's off and locks up way too late since I put on the 28's.
Make sure you have the right speedo gear in the tranny if you want the chip to control lockup.
 
Mine locks at 70. I haven't tried anything else but I did pick up around 1.5 MPH over no lock-up.

Thanks
 
I've had good luck with 81 mph running 28" tires. Bob's chip is nice because it's adjustable for different tire/converter combos.
