Default Locking converter up at WOT couple of questions

I have read a little on the matter, and was wondering if you guys thought it would help me... I was also wondering if it could do any damage from doing this to the transmission or converter. Im running a stock converter out of a s10 which is pretty much the same thing as the trailblazer converter for the newer trucks. The transmission is stock other than a shift kit and servos. I know that this converter isn't as efficent as a yank would be so thats why im wondering about a wot lock up. What do you guys think, im going to be able to program when i recive my software so this is one thing i was thinking about..

My truck was set to lock my stock coverter under WOT at 75mph in 3rd... Unless you changed your programming, you may be locking it already...

Is this a GenII '98 or a GenIII '98?

if your truck is naturally asperated, you likely won't see much gain in it.
