I'm not a converter guy by any means but in my head, it the fluid is too hot, and a slipping converter creates heat, why wouldn't you want it to be locked to give the fluid a chance to cool down? Not arguing with you at all. I'm just interested in why you don't agree with locking the converter..?

Chris that is an interesting comment. Can you explain what you mean?

Ups dropped my converter off today and about 4 hours later it was in. Everything seems to be working fine, and it definitely locks up, actually sooner then I want it too. But I'll be getting another tune here shortly after the cam.
My only other concern is that I didn't actually check the instructions that came with it, because I didn't notice them right away. I installed the converter without checking the clearances, but I don't hear any weird noises, or feel any issues. Is it normal to not need the supplied spacers, or are these a "just incase" type deal for when yours is out of the norm. Also, 150 miles before I can play with it right? Thanks
