the lock-up feature isn't engaged, as the turbos aren't sufficiently loaded. The beauty of Ryan's set-up is he has the high stall which allows him to launch the car spectatularly (and give him great throttle response), but then he can lock up the converter (making it a mechanical instead of a fluid coupling), and the stall becomes a non-issue. If he didn't have the ability to lock up the converter, his stall would probably hurt his all around performance. As a complete side note, as I plan on shooting you and the interested parties re: higher gearing E-mails, I got a set of Armada gears. The initial results (ie.visual inspection) aren't good. It looks like they are of significantly diferent dimensions. I still plan on taking them to the diff. shop to get a final determination as to the potential of a swap. So I'll let you all (that's southern talk) know as soon as I know for sure. Take care, Mark
