I have a .040 over stock (pistons) 440 with a mild cam, 727 /Gear Vendors/3:23 that I regularly pound on. My trans doesn't like to shift until around 6000 RPM's at WOT and I think it's a little late. I've adjusted the kick down and it shifts great under regular driving conditions, but wants to whined a little too tight for my comfort zone. The engine is balanced and was built be a reputable builder. Should I be worried?




Adjusting the Throttle valve(kickdown)Linkage doesn't do anything to the WOT shift point .'

Did you change the gov. weights to get that hi A WOT ? Stock they don't shift nearly that high , usually about 4800 or so ...
