does the converter lock up while you are at full throttle? you will feel it slightly and the engine rpms will appear to hold still for a second even though you are still accelerating.

To be in the safe side, avoid flooring it, tune it asap.

Basically if you can count your gears and you count 1 more than you have when at WOT then it is Locking. DO NOT continue to run WOT until you get it tune to not lock unless you have one built to handle it.
