With my wife's Toyota Matrix, I accelerate briskly until 60 km/h, where I release the throttle just enough for the trans to shift into high gear and TC lockup and then give it enough throttle to reach 75% "LOD" (SG2) - the max before it unlocks the TC.

I find the "LOD" display the most helpful. "TPS" is not really useful to me at all because it is not RPM dependent.
