Software. HPTuners or LS1-Edit will allow you to lockup your converter for a WOT dyno run.

To compare the HP loss and/or get a better idea of what the true HP is of your mods. I recommend only doing one or two dyno pulls with the TCC applied, definately not for drag racing or street races. The OE TCC won't take that kind of constant abuse.
