ive read that you should do a dyno run with it locked and unlocked. there should be a point where the two differnet graphs cross eachother(locked vs unlocked) and that is the exact spot you should make it lock up in 3rd to gain some time. it sounds like it should work but in the past i have run a couple tenths leaving it unlocked. im trying to get the to the dyno to prove this theory but everytime i try i get somethign keeping me from going .

some usually gain the mph by locking the converter. from what i hear anyways and if the converter is built to handle a lockup in 3rd WOT.
on a dyno, your hp and tq will allways cross over at 5280

Turbo motors like the converter locked due to it loading the turbo better, just like going to a 3.42 gear over 4.10 will make a turbo car go quicker(to a certain extent of course) due to loading the turbo more.
