I will make one calibration change for an additional $100 per change. For example, changing a shift point for a given gear is $100 vs changing a shift point and a pressure setting would be $200. That value can be used towards the full custom tuning price.

Limit on torque holding for stock 80 converter

Has anybody seen the torque holding limit of the stock 80 converter lockup clutch? I had a 550 rwhp/tq TVS 2300 Camaro on the dyno the other day that for the life of me I could not get the slip out of at lockup and the pressures were just about maxed. Now this thing had a pretty bad tune in it from before I saw it which could have contributed to lockup clutch wear but I don't know if I've ever seen anybody talk about the max of the stock lockup clutch anyways...
