Ok, so a few months ago I burnt out the directs in my trans, and ended up having my transmission rebuilt by a reputable shop.
The parts that went into it is as follows:
Raybestos Stage 1 Frictions
Kolene Steels
(extra frictions in some areas, I forget the exact count)
TCS billet HD input(not the standard billet input)
TCS billet overdrive planetary(5 gear, not 4)
TCS billet intermediate shaft
TCS billet low/reverse ring gear
Modified direct solenoid
TransGo kit (the small one)
PI Billet converter
Amalie ATF
spec sheets:

Problem:

The torque converter will start to slip/unlock when it should be locked.
IE:
Scenario 1: I roll into the throttle at 50mph, but don't give it enough throttle to make it downshift, the rpm's will flare way above the input shaft speed, and I can keep them above the input shaft speed for multiple seconds, and it will not equalize.
Scenario 2: I go straight to wot from 85+mph. Same "slipping" happens.
I have Innovative v3.01 tunes, and Gearhead's tunes, and it happens on both.
Now this is where things get weird. A long time ago, when my stock trans worked fine, I could run any tune I wanted, and everything would be swell. The stock converter would not slip(at least noticeably). However, I decided to try and datalog trans info via my SCT livewire one night, about a year ago, and I had literally the exact same problem as I have now. But when I would unplug the sct, everything would go back to normal, and no unlocking/slipping.
All of the guys at the trans shop think it's tune related. And that if the converter was actually slipping when it should be locked, it would throw a dtc.
So...can anyone help me out?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm pretty stumped
