bad torque converter?

what symptoms have u experienced?... i found this in one article....
"If the one-way clutch fails to hold its position and freewheels in both directions, the torque converter can’t multiply torque normally and the vehicle will accelerate slowly (like starting out in 2nd gear). The only cure for either condition is to replace the torque converter."

sounds like what mine is doing... cant do a burnout and is a dog off the line...

Can you do a data log of it?

Before jumping on replacing it, I would suggest looking into that tune. It may have the converter doing some strange things.
