Default custom converter increases efficiency of AOD transmission resulting in h.p. and tq. gains???

So lets say I threw my fox body on the dyno. First run was with the stock torque converter, and the second run was with the custom torque converter (the one in my signature). What would be the differences in horsepower and torque numbers between the two runs? Does a good custom torque converter increase the efficiency of an automatic transmission? Anyone know?

TQ stands for torque converter. I'll fix it.

people need to do more dyno runs after individual mods.
