Default Locking torque convertor up at WOT in 3 gear

Any one here has the convertor locking up when the trans shift to 3 in the 1/4?

I have done it befor in my old car(99Z) and it went faster, just wanted to know if anyone has tuned the a4 to lock up in 3 at the track?

Unless you have an aftermarket stall, you might want to becareful about doing this. It doesn't exactly have the same clamping power as a normal clutch.

I would like to see some real results on this as well.

I will be providing some results soon with a triple disc lock up converter through my Rossler 4L60E. I think the 408 should be able to handle the load to maintain the momentum on the top end. Is it worth ET/MPH and how is the big question. I'll start a new thread when I get the back to back results. I'm still lining out the new set up.
