How is it when you go down the highway? I'm new to this auto stuff. I just want the best converter you can get right now money is not an object. You can see my mods in the sig.

i just got that convertor a week ago and its a loose ****. but i have 3.42's and 27 inch hoosiers(which dont stand a chance by the way on the street). but on the freeway it will lock up just like the factory one(hopefully, im having issues with it) and be sitting at the same rpm you are now.
