Re: Gearshift Maps

What are everyone's thoughts on adjusting the torque converter unlock curve (stick d, normal mode) to be slightly more aggressive? I have always thought that it required a bit too much throttle to unlock the converter. It seems like it is necessary to depress the throttle enough to get the car to downshift to 3rd to get the acceleration i want (such as when traveling in a pack of traffic) but I i would not have pushed it that far if the converter was easier to unlock. I find that when i am traveling at around 45-55 mph and i want to accelerate fairly rapidly (such as an on ramp from one freeway to another) i tend to quickly blip the throttle to get the thing to switch over to power mode so that it will unlock the converter.

Also, what about changing the "countdown" timer for the power mode? I find that it always goes back to normal annoyingly quickly. Would it be possible to modify the code in such a way that the base time used in the calculation that was described earlier in the thread to be longer, like say a minimum of 10-15 seconds before a return to normal once activated?
