Question SJdiesel, Since lugging at 60 is your concern, can't you adjust the lockup with the controller you are using?

All the "E" transmissions I've messed with you could program the lockup to engage or release at any speed desired, and even play with TPS input so at 60 MPH if you pushed the throttle passed a given percentage, the converter unlocks so you don't have that chug or lugging sensation.
That is the beauty of having an electronic trans. Even with an aggressive camshaft you can delay the lockup anywhere you like for smoother operation at low speeds or have it pop out with more TPS input. Something that is nearly impossible to do and work well with TV cable OD's and lockup converters that work off a vacuum switch. Very limited with what you can do with those.

Just curious, what controller are you using? Does it not have that kind of adjustability?
