Side topic: I can highly recommend the Bowtie Overdrives TV and Throttle Cable SYSTEMS. That is what we used on my 200- 4R

I run a non-lock up converter. Under a steady state cruise speed on the open highway the converter has about a 200 rpm slippage, very acceptable in my opinion.
With my 27.7" diameter rear tire and 3.73 gears it is about 2300 rpm at 70 mph.
