RPM drop off is 3 things:

With my FTI 3800 single disk at WOT, my RPM drop off is 500 RPMs. Light throttle is more drop.

Your 3200 converter has a drop off of around 1300-1500 RPM, right?
I don't even know man I haven't monitored the Rpms

I agree...i ran 3.73 with my "built" 60e until I killed it for the 3rd time. Once I swapped in the 80e, I went 4.10. It is my DD but no freeway driving is involved. The few times I've taken her on the freeway the RPMs are up there around the 80mph mark so I don't take her on long trips often.
