I disagree that a lock-up converter gives you more down track power, it doesn't. When the converter locks up it's not multiplynig torque, which basically runs like a 5-speed, I went from a lock-up to a non lock-up and picked up 2 tenths on ET and 3 mph, it also depends on how heavy you car is, if it weighs less than 3000 lbs, a lock-up might actually perform better than a non lock-up. I'm running a PI 9.5 with a 3800 stall speed.
