Default 1st gear limiter?

is there a program that will allow you to by pass that first gear limiter in the 07 silverado? From what I hear it limits how much power is sent to the wheels in first gear unless you are pulling a load or have a load in the bed. And no, i dont have traction control. I can spin the tires on wet pavement if I goose the throttle a little, but if i punch it from a dead stop, its like going backwards before going forwards.There is no go until about 20 mph. its an ext. cab with the 4.8 and auto tranny.
