Default Downshifting speed/question?

Does anyone know the speed you need to be going for the automatic in a 14' V6 with a 2.73 rear axle to downshift to the power band at lower speeds? (talking 30-70KMH) I'm getting a really annoying thing where it only downshifts to ~3000-3250 RPM's when wide open... Takes FOREVER to build power and seems like something's wrong with it being a 6 speed auto...

D mode is for absolute maximum fuel economy only.
S mode will probably more to your liking,
Or just manually shift it using +/-
