I would say no and It's not wise to lockup the stock converter at wot with that much power. They were never meant to be locked at wot with a supercharger.
Ask circle d and yank.
Sometimes if the truck doesn't have enough power the truck will actually slow down.
With ur type of supercharger it's not critical to load the engine like u would a turbocharged setup.
Some do lock it up and others don't. You'll get mixed opinions but I wouldnt. There's a reason why aftermarket companies make multi lock up clutch converters.
