Are you locking the converter on the 2-3 shift? I picked up 3 MPH from doing that in my old LS1 car. A 1.6 sixty is damn good for a 4000+ lb car. I doubt you have a really loose converter in it either.
I think for the first time out, it is running really well. I went 11.48 @ 121 the first time out with my old 2000 Z28. A dozen passes later and it was running 10.70s and trapping 4.5 more MPH. Give it time, feel it out, and it will go faster in no time. The proverbial "learning curve" of a new combination.

I thought about it last night and wondered if it would have picked up any. I will certainly try it next time out! The converter is a fairly pricey billet 10" 4000 stall (on the tight side). When driving around town it doesn't feel like much stall at all which is what I requested. Did you lock yours in 2nd and 3rd or just when going into 3rd?

I locked mine when it applied the 2-3 shift. Definitely helped it out on the back half of the track. I had a 4L60E built by Rossler with an old Yank SY3500... it flashed closer to 4400-4600 with my engine. (the 3500 rating was figured with a stockish LS1) Was very tight around town, loosened right up as soon as I hung my foot in the throttle.

Fired the Chevelle up today and let it warm up. Just when I thought I would head to the gas station it died. Ran out of gas in the driveway, at least I was not on the road. Got gas and a stabilizer treatment for it and drove it around some this afternoon with the sun out. A little cold outside, but not bad. Tach was not working so I guess I'm going to have to trace the problem down. Now it's ready for winter.
