I need to know the advantages and disadvantages of a lockup vs. nonlockup converters. Which is better for performance?

Motor/tranny and rearend and wants for the car? ------------------ 383 Speed-O-Motive stroker kit with Speed Demon 750, RPM intake,Proform HEI dist.MSD6a box,World Products Sportsman II heads, ported and polished with 2.02/1.60 valves,64cc,TRW forged pistons with 10.7:1 compression, Comp Xtreme 284 cam,Crane pushrods, Comp Cam 1.6 full roller rockers,ATI damper, 40 series Flowmasters, 4.11 gears with TH350 and Hughes 3000 stall.Powertrax NoSlip Locker boodlefoof Mar 30th, 01, 10:13 AM The lockup converter eliminates slippage, reducing friction and, as a result, heat of trans fluid. I have heard that you should always run one in a street overdrive 700 or 200 trans. The lack of slippage will also increase gas mileage. I don't know of a difference in performance.
