Is this normal behavior for a C6?

Hey yall, there was a couple of things I was wondering about my trucks C6 and didn't know if it is behaving like it should. The truck is an 86 250, 460 motor, 4.10 a-gears, stock tires.

The toruque converter realy seems to slip a lot when heavily engaging the throttle from a stop or low speeds. I know it is normal for TC's to slip under these conditions, but for some reason it seems to do it more than other trucks. I don't do burnouts too often but when I try, it's really not that impressive for a truck with a 460 and 4.10 rear. Other than that the trans and engine are very healthy.

Other thing is when I park on an incline, put it in park and then when I go to leave and put it in D, it's always stiff coming out of park. Is this also normal?

Thank yall for your help.

How do you know it's the torque converter and not the trans ? Usualy when a torque converter goes it's all at once. And yes thats normal there is a lot of pressure on the parking pawl when it's on a hill.

The trans does not feel like it is slipping, just that the TC is really absorbing a fair amount of power. The trans shifts great, just wondering if the stock TC may not be that efficient and if their is anything I can do to help it without dropping lots of $$$. Thanks for the reply
