Default 4L60E running hot at wot, what to check for?

EDIT: I just drove the car 20 miles mostly highway, some street and very little wot action. It never got over 150 degrees on the highway, 180 degrees on the street. I didnt go wide open throttle for long at all compared to the dyno or the dragstrip. Is it possible that my overheating during WOT is converter clutch slippage? I dont feel any slippage whatsoever. How would I go about checking for this stuff?

For whatever reason requiring that much rpm to get moving is excessive slippage somewhere. thus the high temp. My 3600 vig pulls out like a stocker in my 01

Well I found out that the tune was off causing the tcc to lock up randomly and during wot lockup. I got the kinks ironed out of the tune and the problem is solved. Now its time to go play at the track!
