This guy must have missed the memo.

Just some proof that this old way of thinking is entirely false. It's over 50 pages long now so I will summarize it for you.
This customer just won the NMCA true street event running 8.70's with his Mustang. The kicker is he drove 2000 miles from New Mexico to Bradenton with one of our non lock, spragless 2800 stall converters before he raced it. Trans temps never got over 170 with them around 140-150 most of the time. That's cooler than my daily driver 2500 Chevy.
He uses an OD AOD trans so it does have overdive. Rpm at 70mph was slightly over 2000 rpm. The old thinking that a non lock spragless converter makes too much heat for a daily driver is again proved to be false. I'm not sure why we had that drilled in our Buick heads for so long but I'm glad this info is out there for all to see.
