I typically run 80-85 LOD in my manual. It's hard to get that in an automatic. Instead, I aim for high-ish load (maybe 60) while still keeping it at about 1800 rpm, but especially below 2000. With the auto, I let the rpm dictate things more than the LOD.
Once it locks up in top gear, it's more like a manual. 90-95 LOD is where it unlocks, so I can push it right up to that limit. (at least in my Ody)
