Thats becuse when it locks it drops RPMs which drops HP/TQ then as RPMs increases as do the HP/TQ and thats why it feels like it pull harder after locking.. To me any drop in RPM at WOT is a loss in thr 1/4.

Hmmm, wonder if the stock 4l80 TC could handle locking up at WOT with my setup. I hear it'll help your mph, I may try it next time at the track and see what gives the better ET. You guys locking in 3rd only?

im shifting close to 7,000rpm, trapping 118mph and my rpm is never below 5,500. i could use a little drop maybe haha. also, after locking your at a 1:1 ratio so even if you in a lower part of your power band, your putting 100% of that power to the wheels instead of the converter eating some of that power.
