Lockup vs. non-lockup
For higher torque applications....what is better and why?
and I'm not talking about ****ty converters like TCI and B&M. Talking about higher quality ones like P.I. Yank etc...
Curious to hear what you guys have to say.

All the lock is for is for better fuel economy, and I believe its easier on the internals as far as tranny life length. (dont qoute me on the ladder) Anyway IMO, I dont think it matters if you have alot, or not alot of torgue. If you have alot of torque, I'll assume you like to race it. I found that my lock up con. was costing me time at the track. I unplugged the torgue con. and picked up 2 tenths in the 1/4. I hope I was of some assisatnce.

Tony, you know my opinion so I wont repeat it but am wondering if you've posted this over on turbobuick.com, turbobuicks.com, or t6p.com?

Steve, the reason why is because I already know their opinions. I just wanted to hear what others had to say
I really had no serious intentions of going with a non l/u converter.
And yes, you repeat yourself
