and.... what the hell kind of sucky low rpm stall are you using for your data.....
try a 3600 stall..or a 4800 stall...
from the looks of your graphs, you have a 2200 stall on one, and a clutch on the other
I use the same software for playing with various combos when helping other people pick things for their car.
p.s.
I daily drive a 4800 stall... no issues, feels great... has lockup....

I run an even more sucky stalled converter. Converter is stalled to flashes around 2800 RPM...LOL It's dual disc, lockup, lite weight billet. Very effecient. Car weighs 3276 lbs and will idle around and even pull a slight grade without any throttle.
Car is set up for auto crossing where high stall can put you into cones or if Goodguys show a concrete barrier. I have yet to get it to drag strip to see how bad the 60 Ft time is.

im just to the point on my car where the next mod is gonna cost alot of money. ive just havent heard very good stories about the 4L60E surviving very well. i was just gonna throw a yank stall in my car but they recomomend i have the trans rebuilt. the price of having the trans built and running their stall is gonna run me around $2500. may not seem like alot to some people, but it is when your living on your own lol. i appreciat all the input. only thing i really plan on doing to my car is putting a decent cam in it and a tune, so maybe 400hp to the wheels.

Manual or Stalled Auto Pulling the TR6060 out Goin back in with a Jakes 4L80e level 5 with stall, The 6 speed manual is fun but cant take the abuse and I cant launch it the same anytime, and with the cam I seem to do a lot of clutch slipping.
I like to Shift But looking forward to my first stalled trans.

Unless your a professional driver, I prefer auto. I mean alot of us can row the gears really well, but not well enough to uncover true potential. You leave alot on the table other than a slightly higher dyno number, and impressing a few people who worship 6 speeds as the manly way of driving. If that was the case then truckers are the pinnacle of man kind youd think.......not
When you have serious horsepower at your foot, youd really be better of driving with both hands. Thats one advantage to me. When the wheels leave the ground, or she gets squirrely, youll have one less thing to worry about.
The wear on drivetrain components is better.
Adjusting shifting points.
And you can always shift it manually while on the street to get into the power band from a roll.
just a few reasons out of many IMO
