Funny thing is I can run the 1/4 in 2nd gear... I can shift or hold it ... I was short shifting second. I still don't have the vacuum to hit 3rd at high RPM... I am sure the car can go 10.60s+ with a vacuum pump so I can shift into 3rd at high RPM
See this 10.90 pass... only to second gear. Notice MPH is lower because I couldn't get 3rd

Are you saying the trans won't shift to 3rd at wot? If so, that has nothing to do with vacuum. Vacuum modulators only control part throttle shifting. You have something else going on if it's not shifting to 3rd at wot. (Governor, valve body, bands/clutches).
Maybe I'm missing something...(I probably am..

I'm not following you on the vacuum/shifting thing?

Wot shifts are controlled by the governor and changes made in the valve body. If the valve body has been modded for manual shifts, it will over ride the governor...if that's the case, then there is an issue with the valve body or the 2-3 shift components themselves. (Clutches/band/servo).
Does the fluid smell burned?
Sometimes if you let off the throttle and it shifts to 3rd with less load, that means the clutches/band is going out I believe.
