The torque converter has a clutch inside of it which is normally not applied at WOT, but some people will lock the clutch on the dyno to get the best numbers possible.

326/343 before the cam and that was the only change granted im running a 3600 stall now. The car drives good a/c works great just a little surging when coming to a stop and around 50 to 55mph it bucks

dynos are tuning tools, autos always put down crappy numbers, dont get so caught up in the peak numbers with a cam the important part is where you picked up the power. Take it to the track and have fun your thinking too much into it and are gonna throw money at it for nothing.

Are you sure they installed an MS3 cam? That thing does not sound like a decent size cam at all. My 224 cam through the slp dual dual (very quiet) has much more lope than your setup. I even have my idle set at 900 rpm. Your cam sounds like a 224 on a 114 LSA.
