Having my 4L60E rebuilt, thinking the stock torque converter might be a large contributor to why it's such a turd. Anyone used a trailblazer converter in a half ton? I hear it's an "upgrade" but hear mixed reviews.

Just go aftermarket.

Have one built to your specs. Will run you 300-400 bucks probably. It's not full race is it?
I would think a TB converer would stall higher because if the truck being heavier than a TB.

A friend of mine pretty much specializes in 4L60E's as a side job when he isnt rebuilding Eaton 18 speeds. Says a converter my cost is $100. I figure if that's the case try to use that to my benefit.

Would a m23 fit up in there?

How many other people be riding around with an m23 or a super m22 in their 06 pickup.
You would probably have the only one in the world.
Seems worth it.

Years ago Advanced Adapters sold an adapter to allow a Muncie 4 speed to go in a GM 4x4...I came very close to buying one for my '72 K5 after I was rather disgusted with the gear spacing of the SM465 I swapped into it in place of the original TH350...but it was over $700 back in the late 80's,too rich for my budget.
I learned to live with the big jump between the "second" first gear (not the granny low gear),and third,but I always hated it,especially on hills..you had to wind the piss out of it in second,then get it in third as fast as possible--and it'd lug up the hill ,spark knocking....the 3:08 gears in the rear weren't exactly ideal ..

The Trailblazer converter will increase stall speed about 1000 rpm over a conventional Gas 4L60E , these only fit the LS style Engine/Trans and not the earlier design 4L60E.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
