Re: Importance of a proper tune.

FWIW I've noticed the same thing with my converter. Stock it commands torque converter clutch lockup at 75 mph at WOT. When mine locks it drops the rpms by about 3-400 and it actually accelerates faster. If you have a good converter I imagine the effect would be the opposite but mines a loose slopping pile of crap.
