huh. Stock lt1 tables are not set that low. They are scaled higher below 60% tps. I can see what your saying though.

In my stock tcc apply table, < 6% TPS in 4th gear, the converter locked at 46 MPH. more TPS = more MPH before lock.

Poorman and Sabre81 you have mail!

Thanks, got your email. I knew I didn't have to reinvent the wheel. I been spending most of the night going through the shift point numbers and seeing how they correspond to the spreedsheet calculations. I will continue with the TC points this weekend and load up a few bins to see what happens. Will report back.

Btw, the spreadsheet calcs are a tad off because the 3.23 values do not match the edit conversions you sent me for some reason. They are causing up to a 5mph error in some places. I redid page 1 of the spreadsheet to show this if your interested. I am assuming the 3.23 values in the spreadsheet are incorrect. The other gear ratio base values look good though.

I'm wanting to think that the 3.23 values in the spreadsheet were from a stock 3.23 car, and the values in the file were the "calculated" values for a 2.73 car upgraded to 3.23 gears.

You'll probably notice that the 3.42 numbers in that file don't match the calculated values from LT1 Edit either. I ran the calculated values for a while and they were OK, but the car stayed in 1st longer than it had to, and would hit the rev limiter in 2nd when running WOT. So I used the values in the spreadsheet and the car has only hit the limiter once at WOT since.

For the converter stuff, I'm not using that spreadsheet at all, I'm using the stock values from my 2.73 tables because they feel very comfortable to me. If anything, I'm thinking of raising the lockup speed by 5-10 MPH so it locks around 50-55 instead of 45 because many of the roads around here have 45 MPH speed limits that when combined with hills makes the converter lock/unlock/lock more than I think it should, so raising the lockup value should stop that from happening.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. I'm trying to figure out some tranny stuff with LT1 Edit myself as it is.

So for a gear change all lt1 edit does is divide your original gear ratio by the new gear ratio. (2.73/3.73) then scale the shift and tcc tables by the result. which is .731903485

Just when I was getting happy the power on the laptop died and I lost the PCM. I had it plugged into the house but the tranformer was not plugged into the back of the Laptop. I just saw the little green light on the transformer and started playing. Anyway, I am going to socket it so it only cost me $30 in the future to fix it.
