Blackmaxx TC lockup setting?

What do you recommend I set my TC on my truck? 10inch lift 38x15.5x20s if that matters?

If you have your speedo corrected for the tire size difference, then the TC lockup is up to what you like. Early lockup will get you better mileage cruising through towns/highways. Race files usually have early lockups. I think the lowest you'd want to go or can go for that matter is 45.

I set mine at 45mph and it seemed to make the turbos snuff at medium throttle, like on freeway on ramps. The rpms were low enough at that lockup speed it killed the boost. My truck seems happiest at 55mph lockup

I use the 55 MPH lockup. Seems to work fine for me.

I just changed mine from the 55MPH to the 50MPH Lock up and I like the 50 alot better for back road driving.

It just effects the driving manners (and mileage of the truck if you do speeds arund lock-up). Earlier lock gives a hard pull, where later lock gives a loose pull. Basically like engaging half the clutch vs all of it one you hit OD in a manual.
