Torque Monster !

Keep in mind that your torque rating is at WOT.
Idling down the hiway at 2400 on the primaries at Part Throttle,
if the chassis takes 100hp to propel, your engine will be asked to produce just ,
100 x5250/2400=219 ftlbs Net,
and that is all that the lock-up will have to deal with.
But if your chassis only requires 80hp, then;
80 x5250/2400=175 ftlbs.

Yep that is right. The thing that concerns me though is my memory is not what it used to be. One time of me forgetting to unlock the converter when I get into the throttle and it could be toast. Maybe there is some kind of way to do a pressure override to disengage it. Shouldn't be too hard to put an electric sensor in line with the trans cooler line. I'll have to do some studying on it.
