      OPINIONS WATED on 700R4 LOCK-UP verses NON LOCK-UP

      I'm putting a 700R4 in a 32 Coupe behind a "low boost" supercharged 383. I'm running 30" tires and 3.50 gears. I'm having a hard time deciding between a lock-up converter and a non lock-up. I'm not concerned about the extra 200 or so RPM I lose in 4th gear or the gas mileage, I'm more concerned with having a trouble free transmission. My car is only 2800 lbs. and will do little freeway driving as compared to city driving. I'm trying to build the car "old school" style so the extra switches and lines needed for lock-up is not preferred, but fine if needed. The additional cost of the lock-up converter and wiring kit is only $350 so that is minimal. I just want to keep things simple, but not at the cost of reliability. I appreciate any feedback from your experience.
      Thank you!!
