Or is the hp tuner the best bet?
B82 I think came behind the 4.3 80e combo.

Either tuning software is ok.

If you plan to tune more in the future, getting a tuning setup is a bit $$ up front but allows you to tune all you want for future parts.

TGUI, Did you buy this transmission holding fixture?

Transmission Holding Fixture w Base T 0156 B | eBay

You just had to grind it down on one side to make it work?

I don't have one. I drilled a hole in my table top for the shaft to fit in. Then I man handled the thing into various positions.

I don't know if a triple clutch is good for a daily driver. Someone else will chime in though.

I agree with those who suggest lower stall RPM. A high-stall converter would be miserable on the trails; it won't crawl and will overheat. You're geared low enough for a stock 13" converter. Multi-disc lockup clutches are relevant to high power-handling during wide-open-throttle lock-up, also not needed for this.

Which is part of the reason i went with the converter i did, it is basically a reworked trailblazer 4l60 converter, with a slightly higher stall, my truck will crawl, even with a 3000 stall, reverse takes a bit more rpm to get moving, but rarely do you use reverse anyway....
