Is you're kick down linkage adjusted properly? Is it even hooked up? Proper adjustment is with the caruretor at wide open throttle the lever on the transmission should be all the way to the rear. Essentually both throttle lever and tranmission pressure lever should hit the end of thier travel at the same time.
Here is the tricky part, with the throttle fully closed, the transmission lever should still be back about half way, or maybe just a little less.
If you have swapped to an aftermarket carb this can be very difficult to achieve without switching to a fully adjustable cable system like lokar.

That link should be banned from the www and the guy who wrote it should be bent over a barrel and.............. To the OP, what carb, stock or aftermarket? If aftermarket does it have the correct Mopar throttle lever adapter?

Oh well to each their own I guess.

And for what its worth the transmission in my challenger is actually a loadflight (truck trans) and shifts spot on at factory car shift points. Only changes done where a passnger car tailshaft housing and matching parking pawl lever.

It's a 750 Holley on a factory intake, with a Lokar kickdown cable. It's properly installed and adjusted. That's part of the problem. Have you checked to see if WOT at the pedal is WOT at the carb? IOW, have somebody sit in the car and floor the pedal then see if the carb lever can be pushed further back from under the hood.

You might need an aftermarket governor but I will defer to Kunkel & Trans man for the final word there. I been sitting on one for decades unused that I bought from A&A (iirc) & iirc it was a Hemi repro (6200 shifts).

Well, I don't really need 6200 rpm shifts in my truck! lol It would be nice if it would shift around 4600 to 5000 rpm under wot. That would be acceptable for me. IIRC ... There are trans parts suppliers that offer diff gov packages

^^^ Yes & at the time I bought the 6200 one & with a days thought it might have been the "max wedge" repro as opposed to the Hemi one but I'm sure you could get a lower one in the RPM range you are after & when you do I'm sure there are ways to fine tune it from where it does shift at.
