They might not run the same at the track. The looser one is not coupling as good as the tight one. A looser one may hit the tires softer, but slip too much to get a decent mph. Most guys with a really dialed in combination have at least three convertors on the shelf if not more, and most of them have been cut apart and changed!

There probably is some difference in torque multiplication but I don't know how to determine that.
