Default Converter question regarding efficency?

I lost 34RW unlocked to locked w/my VIG 3800....
I now have a Yank TP4200...

How much do u think I'll pick up w/my unlocked Yank over the VIG?

I think it'll lose 10-18 RWHP unlocked v/s locked.

Many companies can make a converter hit hard. Many companies can build a TIGHT converter that is efficient. And anyone can make a converter that simply stalls high. However, building loose converters that hit hard while having excellent efficiency...this is where the Yanks really shine.

That makes me real happy,If I picked up 15 hp and go up to 389 unlocked I'd ****.
We runem in unlocked mode so more power there equates to better et/mph.
I'll redyno in about 2 weeks....

Thanx Steve......
FWIW I just dynoed a ST4000 behind my buddies 383 LT1 and it only lost 6RWH/16RWT
