locked vs unlocked
It really depends on the type of converter.
Below are my old converters and friends converters. I listed the hp difference between locked and unlocked
vig 3200 -------------- 15 hp
Yank pt4000 ---------- 20 hp
vig 3800 -------------- 40 hp
TCS 3200 ------------- 27 hp
Yank ss 3800 ---------- 23 hp
I hope that helps

[QUOTE=kruthes1]Thanks it does give me some hope. I am just really bummed that I could't even crack 300 but it was unlocked.[/QUOTE
My first time on the dyno with the same boltons you have plus a ported throttle body I dynoed 300 at the wheels through a unlocked vig 3600.

I've done some searching and can't quite get this sorted out.
I had always assumed that the converter is locked @ or near it's stall rating. Can a the converter be controlled through the computer? If running on a dyno locked and unlocked is an option, what would be the purpose of running unlocked vice locked when setting peak performance / WOT?
