Default how much time can hitting the rev limiter cost u?

Every time i go to the track the car hits the rev limiter on the 2>3 shift. ive been trying to re program the shift points but im not too sure how to do it correctly so i havent messed with it. anyone know how much time this can cost you in the 1/4 if it bounces of the limiter?

I think mine slowed down about .1-.2

Does it only do it at the track?
I had the same problem when I first built my car.
it needed more trans fluid in it.

It could be a bigger problem though

then it sounds to me like it could be low on fluid a bit.
but it still could be something worse.

Gotta drop the shift rpm as well as the shift mph.
