Default lock converter for A4 dyno run?


I made 386 SAE through unlocked converter - how much difference would locking make? I've heard it is more reliable to dyno locked?

I do have LS1 edit, I assume I have to do something to the program to force the lockup? thanks

Yes, you have to lock the convertor using LS1Edit, but I do not know how to do it. When I had my car dyno tuned, I just asked the tuner to lock it when he tested it and he did.

You will read more hp with the converter locked. And less torque.
