Why? You can get tunes that lock the converter up. It is possible to do on one, but I can't say I'd recommend it. If you flip the switch too early you will be burning up your TC. I'd let the trans do it's thing personally.

Any of the big tuners sell them...

Eric @ Innovative Diesel
Doug @ GoGo
Matt @ Gearhead...

I'd use any of these guys.

Do you have any other mods on the truck? I see it blowing smoke, but I'm assuming you're not using an SCT. That will be the only way to tune your trans, and it's really safer than NOT using an SCT.

Because it's written in the custom tune, you shouldn't have to change anything on the programmer. How can it lock it in 1? It would stall coming up to a stop light.

180cc injectors and a stock turbo?

Hows that ATS trans treating you?
