I just got my WS6 back from the dyno and I'm trying to figure out why I got a HUGE torque spike. I can't see why it suddenly shoots skyward and then drop back down so severly. Any ideas???

The stall converter was my concern, too. My trans builder said that once the tranny was done the stall converter was "very loose". I figured it needed to be tuned. Once it was on the dyno those numbers were what I ended up with. My tuner said, however, that when he was driving it "sometimes it felt like a beast, and every once in a while it drove like a v6 Firebird". I'm guessing my converter is locking up when it want's. It's supposedly a Precision Indus. 3200 Stall. Hmmmm.... so far it's been doing fine with me on the street since it breaks the tires loose in all 4 gears. I'm still a little lost, though. Thanks for the help.
