I locked mine up a couple times at the tract (Procharger), and you can definately feel it.

Interested in this as well, I'll be honest I'm scared to lock mine WOT in third... I've done it at 50% throttle with little to no boost it it just hits hard, very hard... Full boost and 6k+ rpms just seems like a bad idea. I have a circle d triple and a billet input shaft on a 80e...

I've only locked mine a couple times, and it slips pretty good. I'm only a single disk tho not designed for WOT lockup. How my truck mph's the way it does I don't know. lol

Smokeshow, you were able to lock yours in the dyno, correct? Maybe the load of locking it real world on the street with big power and heavy load is too much, idk. I was in 4wd, so I know it didn't spin the tires like it does in 2wd at the speed. I'm going to put my truck on the rollers tonight, hoping I can lock it fir that at least.

Yeah I was able to lock it on the dyno. After the dyno though I put my misfire tables back to where they were before, slightly desensitized, whereas on the dyno I had them maxed out. That could be the reason...not sure. Might try messing with it again today.

You should give it a shot at the track, should pick up some time for you.

Let me know if you are able to get it to work today, my 3b converter will probably dyno from 5500-6500rpm if its unlocked, lol. Btw, how do you like the 1a vs. the looser one you had before?

Well seems my tcc is fried. Thought I was supposed to be able to at least lock it on the dyno.

Shitty! Don't even start the truck now, just pull the converter out. The TCC fried in my Yank and put clutch material into the bearings and locked them up. Then the bearings shredded and took out the trans...so don't risk it.
