Default 4L60e TCC Lockup switch

Is it possible to wire up a switch in order to temporarily disable the TCC lockup function on a 4L60e. I race about 1-2 times a month at the local track. Typically I get a 2.1 60 foot time with a basically stock 95 z28. The car has the stock 3.23's and also has a K&N CAI and a 3" catback. best time on BFG gforce supersports (@ 24 PSI) is 14.08 at around 97-98 mph. I would like to try to disconnect the TCC for the track time only to see if that helps overall ET's, but also be able to have the TCC function normally during street driving. Is this possible? Has anyone done it? Can someone please tell me how to wire this up?
Thanks for any help you guys can give!

The TCC, if working properly, does not lock up under WOT condition, such as when you have the foot to the floor. Additionally, if it were able to lock up under WOT, it would burn out because it is not designed to hold the full output of the engine.

Default Thanks

Thanks Guys - I appreciate it. looks like only way to decrease overall ET would be to decrease my 60 foot time. I would like to get the car to run in the 13's which may not be possible without buying a set of drag radials so I can launch from a lower rpm and take advantage of converter stall - limited as it may be from the stock one. I've found the best way to launch with my BFG's is to do a light burnout to clean up the tires and then launch by power braking to 1200 and then going from that rpm. When I just floor it from an idle it spins too much and causes ET gain (slower times.) I've tried rolling into the throttle with mixed results; but, it seems that the best and most consistent times result from that 1200 rpm launch. Any thoughts on how to get this car to run anywhere under 14's (as it sits) would be greatly appreciated!!

I am looking at your trap speed, and the car seems a bit low on power. Considering the bolt on stuff you have you shold be cracking the 100 MPH mark, and that would get you into the 13's. You could try beefing up the rear suspension linkage, but you relly need stickier tires or more top end power.
