Do you have the select shift gear thing? We had a 2006 (I think) LS V8 in, well, 2006, and it had the feature where the auto can move over and select gears. If you have this, it can definitely help.

I test drove a 2013 Buick Regal Turbo Auto and it would only let me go so high in gears- as low as 1k rpms, while my Mustang handle 600rpms and pulls fine- but I choose the gear. FYI, the Regal has 20+ more ft-lbs of torque...
