Default Truck up against a modded C6

Was headed home after meeting up with Pete, Rob(blkssncpt) and Dave(usabodyguard) for dinner and photo shoots and while on the way home a nice lowered C6 merged onto the freeway with us. There was a little bit of traffic and I wanted to restrain myself but the guy was egging me on and I don't get to run up on a modded C6 much. He said he was cammed, CAI, LT, Full exhaust, and a tune. It sounded pretty stout. There wasn't enough room for either of us to get a proper run in but we were taking turns chasing each other around and I sure as hell kept up with him and given more room am sure I could of put a little bit of distance between him and I. He usually pulled about a car on me right out of the gate because of lag issues up but once I did spool up I regained it, but by then I was at the top of 2nd and I can't shift into 3rd while WOT... I'm pretty sure I could of put a few length on him given the proper time and place.

Just thought I'd share...

What's up with not being able to shift into 3rd at WOT?

Tuning issue I think...I have to dig into my HPTuners. 2nd gear shifts at 105mph though I had a buddy that filmed us playing around but again, we never did line up due to the circumstances.
I'll see if I can't find them.
