Are you 100% sure its dropping to 3rd? What I usually see is the trans locking and unlocking the converter. There are multiple things that can cause this. Misfires are the most commen. Put the car on a scan tool of some kind and monitor lockup and check for any fault codes.

^ Agreed.
Not that this is the same programming but I recalled having a tranmission rebuilt with a transgo shift kit and had a issue of the car not staying in 4th under WOT and would dump and stay in 3rd (Monitored by Datamaster), no error code. Turns out the PCM was tuned to have higher line pressure and the combo just made it act weird. PCMforless at the time turned it down and worked fine ever since.
Just reminded me of my past exp.
Hopefully its nothing expensive!

I do have the pressure turned up with a Hypertech tuner do you think that could be whats up because thats kinda when it started when I changed a program

Id take all of the trans pressure increase out, as if it was "stock" and see if makes a difference.

I did take the program out and it didnt help ...dropped the pan and no mess in the pan new fluid and filter and it still does it every once and a while
