I just installed my Fleece Allilocker and I'm just wondering where to lock it at the track for best results. Any help would be appreciated. -Garrett

I been wondering the same thing as the OP. Not to far away from trying to make a track pass and I was thinking lock it right after it shifted into 2nd myself like dirtymaxx said. I believe this is what I'll try doing.

your going to go through second gear so fast, just hit the switch when you feel it shift from 1st to 2nd. by the time you hit the button and it locks, it will be half way through or at the top of 2nd.

Is yours not the auto lockup? My fleece allilocker locks as it shifts to second, it's seamless and efficient for cutting down your time

This. And even then sometimes you're too slow and it locks in third lol

The BT lock up boxes have a boost reference for lock up right? I want one so I can lock the TC as soon as I hit 20ish+ psi. The gauge jumps from 20 to 40 in the blink of an eye

dont know that but i do know you can delay the activation time of the box via a certain timed amount in the box. this can help with big singles at the track, dont know about daily driving though.

My allilocker has 3 references. TPS, boost and speed. I think it's like 18mph, 20psi, and 85% throttle or something like that

I set the delay on my BT box to 2 seconds and it was pointless. Basically like not having a lock box at all. With a 2 second delay it locked at 60mph anways. My box wouldn't let me do 1 second delay...it was 0 or 2. I like 0 the best anyways.

They don't have a boost reference lockup, it locks at 90% throttle when in auto and lock anytime when you use force lock button.

Agreed, I run zero delay as well.

I have the LCD display that shows up "L" when I lock.

You can see it change around 0:45 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1CScIcCfIk
