Hey guys
Looking for some advice on where to start with tuning a 6l80e with some do's and dont's
Backstory
Pretty new to HP Tuners (and tuning in general), I recently transplanted a 2008 statesman l98 and 6l80 in to my Patrol (a 2008 ST patrol, ex 3,0)which has 35inch tyres and 4.11 diff gears
Recently we purchased a caravan that might be slightly heavier than the car should tow 2800kg unloaded, 3500 loaded. The Motor ran at 90C the whole time towing but the box got to 130c with 3 transcoolers on it.
I watched a couple of videos online about adjusting the box to lock up the torque converter but then i noticed it seems to stay locked when I'm driving and during gear changes. I've since undone the changes as the car started studdering going up little inclines. I can validate that the torque converter was locking up as i would get off the peddle and it would engine brake coming down hills.
Anyway i scraped the new shift tune, i have the bluecat tool and i want to try again but i now dont know where to start.

#1.' Street Raptor Torque Converter 700R4 2004R'Fits 700R4, 200-4R and early 4L60E transmissions (1982-1997). This Performance/heavy duty balanced converter has furnace brazed fins and added strength. If you have a problem with your fins coming loose this is the way to go. This converter stalls at 2200 to 2500 RPM and gives a faster launch than a stock converter. Also comes in 1700 and 2000 stall speeds. Rated up to 350 horse power. Furnace brazing laminates the complete turbine shell. This effectively makes your converter one piece, leaving no weak links in your converter to cause a converter failure. Cost $200.00
Note: All 2004R's are 27 spline. 700R4's 1982-83 are 27 spline, 1984 could be either way 27 or 30 spline, 1985 and up are 30 spline. Also note that the proper spline to count is the small input shaft as the larger shaft is the stator shaft and all of those are 27 spline, so be sure to count the smaller diameter shaft.
