unlocked vs. locked?
You will never know. Seriously, unless you logged the efficiency of the converter through the rpm range, no one can answer that question. And even then, it would be a calculated guess. The only way to know (or have known) is to dyno it locked. Sorry.
there is alot of factors that could vary it, expect it should be more but again, you could have false knock from the bearing being spun, who knows. get it fixed and get the tuner to lock the converter.

Well if it was on its way to being spun there had to be some noise in the motor, mine did that before actually making the "noise" It would pull back timing, hence less power, so it could have been lower. I am speculating but if your doing 400 on a tr224 cam, stall, intake and exhaust, then you were doing pretty good.

thats still pretty good, if you do 430, then its a good day, remember, stalled auto's dyno like pigs but make great track et's I wished my 383 LT1 could do over 400 on a emission friendly cam.

SI I had 333 locked, 318 unlocked. Heads/cam I have 483 locked, 459 unlocked. It's about 5% for me give or take. This is with a PT4000 converter through a 12 bolt, 3.90 gears and slicks. Just for comparison.
