Default A4 WOT Shift issue

I seem to have a hesitation on a WOT shift (A-4). The car has 55k on it, I had the dealer do a ATF Flush high 39k. Watching the temp the transmission fluid has never got above say 204 °F and is usually in the 190's.

I checked the plugs they are perfect with about 3k on em (replaced them anyways with them out) and checked the plug wires w/ an ohm meter all is good.

Car is H/C and 417 RWHP since August and was put up for the winter...

Any ideas? Is the tranny going with the higher HP from the H/C? Shifts fine w/ normal driving and no unusual noises, smells or leaks. Seems to be the spirited accelerations only.

The stock A4's will barely hold 350 crankshaft HP.
Call RPM transmissions for your needs.

Jim since it's been sitting awhile maybe it needs a few miles to sling the fluid? Is the fluid level full and un-burned?

I am thinking it may be I changed the shifts point from 5900 to 6000 and there is more than one place in EFI live I need to edit that change...???

Bob I think the fluid is good, I am going to put it on a lift soon, but as I said the fliud was changed and the car is not really run hard at all.

Default shift

Am having a problem like yours but 1st to 2nd is working for me.

You might find some of the replies to the thread [U][U]2.73 to 3.15 WOT 2nd to 3rd REV LIMITER to be helpful. BTW I have not yet resolved this problem yet but am scheduled for a retune today so I can not advise on my solution yet.
