Just wanted to add that Lexus' 8 speed auto can lock up as soon as 2nd-3rd gear when not romping on it

should also say not all TQ converters are created equal. when you go with a 10in or smaller converter, quality really makes a difference. you really should have a quality custom built converter, built for your setup. i had to give all my engine spec's, even head flow #'s, trans, rear gear, tire size.....ect when i had mine built.
