I'm not sure about the stock with and without DPF numbers. The guy up in Michigan dynoed his truck stock before he dynoed the 310 tune. Don't know if he had a stock DPF delete tune or if he dynoed the truck before he did the Spartan and delete. His truck made 280 rwhp stock tho.
As far as the converter being locked, David Dunbar told me that he gets a truck in overdrive to about 2,000 RPMs before he rolls in to it. This way the truck won't downshift.
