kp, which is the way we all report our results?
Some shops lock the converter to dyno, some dont - the converter will never lock up at WOT throttle on its own unless you do a switch or programming.
High horsepower/high stall cars should be dynod locked if you want the RPM on the graph to be accurate on a dynojet.
Most people use unlocked..

I think if you're trying to measure engine performance the converter needs to be locked (to minimize converter effects.) If you're trying to measure the power produced by your whole driveline, it needs to be unlocked. Ideally you'll do both.
