I would say no .. with a 30 shot i'm making about what you make on motor and the stock clutch works great ..A lock up is just what it is ...It locks the clutch up at a set RPM... You can set that RPM by adding or removing weight form the lock up unit.. Smokin...

Did you lose any low end power, and is it stock displacement and pistons?
