Default TCS converter handle being locked up at WOT in 3rd?

Anyone know if a TCS Phoenix Pro is strong enough to handle being locked up at WOT at the track?

I cant see a reason to lock up the TCS on the track. everyone is locking the vigi up because of the low efficiency of the converter with the tcs it should be around 96-98% and i wouldnt think you would see enough gain at the track to make it worth your while. I also believe no matter what converter you lock up under WOT it WILL cause wear on the converter clutch and in time you will start having lock up issues.
