PS guys the reason my traps are so low is because the tranny still wont shift at WOT, i have to let out of it just a bit... I think I need to change my governer gears or something. Otherwise I'm sure my traps would be in the 99-100mph area

If that's the 2-3 shift, you're probably looking at a tranny going-over. Typically caused by a loose/worn 3-4 clutch pack.

five7kid, you are correct

When I lost my 3-4 gears my 3-4 clutch pack was fryed. It wouldnot shift into 3rd at WOT and then wouldnt shift into 3rd at all. It sucked but I got it fixed a week later and is great!!.

Tuned port, you need a tranny rebuilt. You will deffinately see some low low thirteens.

Guys, the tranny is fine, it shifts great, i just need to change the governer gears. The tranny was originally built for a car with alot more power that revved alot higher. It only has 3000 miles on it

It will shift at WOT when i raise my rev limiter, but I am not doing that. As you know TPI doesn't make much power up top.
