I personally think a non-lock up TH400 on the hwy sucks, but I race my car alot and 4L60E's just weren't cutting it for me anymore. It's a trade off...
Like I always say..swapping to a TH400 isn't for everyone

At 60 MPH I am turning 3000 RPM with 26" ET Streets and 3.73 gears. Should get a little better when I put the 28's on.
To get an idea how it will feel, drive your car around in 3rd - granted a TH400 doesn't lock up the converter in 3rd like the 4L60E, but it will give you an idea. They are the same 1:1 gear in 3rd.
When you wanna go fast, there are always trade-offs. When I get tired of mine, I may try a 4L80E.
