Well guys I ran the dyno tune just now and the car stayed in 3rd at any throttle position, but anything past 1/4 throttle it would unlock the converter. I am at a loss on how to get this converter to stay locked. Anyone else got any ideas?
Don't just mash the throttle to WOT, you have to ease it to WOT once you're starting the dyno run to keep the converter locked. The rapid change in TP is what is causing the unlock. Once you get the car into 3rd with the converter locked and are starting sampling, just ease into the throttle over a quick "one, two, three" count in your head and it should stay locked.

I have tried easing into it, but anything past 1/4 throttle, it will unlock. What I was trying to do was get some lower end dyno numbers, so by 2000-2500rpm or so I want to be able to be at WOT.
