Well to start off, I have a Circle D 5C 4500 single disc lockup converter in my Camaro. When they dyno'd my Camaro they left the converter "unlocked" for the runs. When I asked them where it is set to lockup, they told me they have it set to lockup in 6th gear at 55mph. And it does, anything below that it will unlock, above 55 it locks, you can feel it. Also during normal driving, or spirited driving they also to me that they set what he called "manual auto lock" in the tune, so that anytime I use manual mode it will automatically lock the converter in whatever gear I am in, in manual mode, until I put it back in SPORT mode, I use that to drive around town and in traffic so the converter and trans don't get so hot, and it saves on fuel, because it is just like driving a stick car. Also if you haven't yet, get a good trans cooler, makes a huge difference. As far as the "adaptives" you are asking about, not sure what they are. Hope this shines a light on some stuff for ya..
