well after i shift into 3rd gear im at 5k and as soon as i hit 90 mph the converter locks and i drop back to 4400 and have to build from there and cross the traps at 5k so with the converter unlocked i should go through the traps at about 5700.

Do you get more MPH when your converter is locked in your 1/4 runs?

i will find out once allen unlocks it again, we moved up my shift points and locked the converter. i do believe it will be more mph with the converter unlocked since i loose about 700 rpms once the converter locks.
