I've spent much time dialing in the governor of a 700r4. If you want to raise the shift points at wot, you can carefully grind some some meat off one or two of the governor weights. Do this carefully, test and you should see results. The stock weights are very heavy. I have played with aftermarket weight spring kits. Working with those is a very time consuming task. The springs affect mostly part throttle shifting, the weights mostly full throttle, however, they are interrelated. Keep it simple and lighten the stock weights and try it out. It costs nothing.

That will be tough to do, try slightly heavier springs when taking some weight off the stock weights. That may give you the same part throttle shifts with more RPM at the WOT shifts.

You need to get to Atco in late November, early December. On occasion you will get mineshaft air days where you’ll see -2000 DA days. For my car that was 3/4 of a second quicker than on hot/humid summer days.
