You should see a small drop maybe 100 to 300 rpm as the TC locks. I believe the TC will unlock between automatic shifts for a smoother transition. Really have to pay attention during these moments to know what is happening. Not always easy.
In looking at some searches including one from RV.net it seems max torque is at 4,400 and max HP at 5,200. But I wonder if it's a double edged sword. On the one hand the engine is okay with the high revs. But on the other hand if the converter is not locked I imagine the temperature might spike pretty quickly.
