One, I've never seen an engine run at full throttle that didn't get hot. Two, fuel has nothing to do with the tranny. If that torque converter slips, it heats up fast. Also a problem running full throttle.

You're right than when you run an engine at high rpm and full throttle things get hot. The reason is that the engine can produce more power at full throttle high rpm.

In this test, all the engines put similar power to the rear wheels. If the Ram transfered that power through its torque converter at the highest rpm it transferred its power through its torque converter at the lowest level of torque....less slippage....less heat generated.

Not the way it works.
