Exactly why nobody here likes automatics. If the converter is unlocked any additional load just revs the engine higher. Personally, I accelerate moderately in first to about 15mph/2200rpm, let it shift to 2nd then get on it at high load and reach 40+/3800rpm and stay in lockup the rest of the way up.
