Should have got in on the synergy GP.

 

Exactly where I lock mine (just after the 2-3 shift). Doesn't "feel" faster but it is consistantly giving me faster E.T. locked at this point. I haven't tried keeping it locked through the shift however a local Vette picked up 4 MPH by locking it just after the 1-2 shift. He reverted back to having it unlocked and sure enough he lost his 4 MPH.

I roasted a yank 2600TT within 2000 miles by doing this. If you are going to be locking at WOT with a good amount of power behind it, I suggest a good converter capable of locking behind a solid powerplant and a 5000# truck.

Good topic!

 

i currently do not lock at all in the 1/4 mile. This weekend i'm going to try locking just after the 2-3 shift and see what happens.

 

post up some results for us...

now im really thinking about NOT locking it? I just cant go through any broken parts right now... my converter has been good but I sure am afraid of breaking something at this time since there wont be funds available for a few months and that would really suck to be waiting for this good weather then something go's wrong...

 

what kind of results do you want? i've never locked my converter in the 1/4 so i have no data to compare it to.

 

im happy with were im at, but you know how this damn mod bug is, it never stops, I would like to get a 12.4 n/a..... I think it has it, I just need to wait for the better weather...

 

Thats how my truck feels when I run it, falls on its face after the 1/8th. I'm thinking that I wont hurt my converter locking it WOT since its the triple disk. Or mabye I can lock it at 120 mph, because thats all my truck will do with 265's and 4.10's. I'm interested in the results, good thread

 

UPDATE:

I havent gone to the track yet, but I did get my converter locked @ 95mph, I drove my truck to work today and made a couple of WOT runs, the SOTP test says its DOES pull harder when it locks up, I can actually feel being pinned back to the seat and it feels like it is pulling alot better after 95mph ! I just hope there will be some results (et wise) from this, if not Im going back to unlocking it... too bad it'll be 2 weeks befoer I make it out there..

 

If it doesn't rain on Friday, I will do a couple of runs comparing each and post the results. I did this before and always got better E.T. by locking just after the 2-3rd shift.

 

my 2-3 shifts @ 85mph... and I have it locking @ 95mph, so is it better to lock it right after the 2-3 shift or like I did later on @ 95mph?
