yes, for the ECM to lockup the TCC it needs a TPS input, im not sure but i believe it needs a RPM input too.

There are different ways around it, from a toggle switch to control boxes that summit, jegs, and likely many others sell. You definitely want to make sure you address that though.

have this on my car...http://bowtieoverdrives.com/catalog/...AT&CATID=OA1A3


i just cut the lock up wire on my truck and use a toggle switch. It has 36 inch tires and would lock up too soon with a 3.08 rear.
