Default car started in 3rd at wot?

autotapped my run up at island tonight...i stalled the car to 1450rpms and then hit it and the tranny upshifted strait to 3rd and was in 4th at wot by 28mph according to autotap any clue as to why? It seems like the trannys been having a hard time deciding which gear to go to since i put in the cam/heads...ive had all missfire codes deleted i believe so im really not sure what to think...the car was only dyno tuned w/ no street tune...my tuners gonna make it right but I'd like to have a heads up if anyone knows whats up with it.

Thanks
bill

Those 2.73s along with the heads and that meaty cam just might not be too happy together under race conditions...and I really hope your tranny isn't starting to do a little dance as well, not likely though.

yah im really not sure marc...under regular driving i can get it to downshift from 4th to second and it runs like a raped ape..and yesterday from a slow roll i ran it through 1st & second just fine but then i go to the track and it just starts out in third? Like i said im not sure if its a tuning thing or not...all i know is before the heads/cam it didnt do anything like this hehe.

I have 373's, but that was when the problem started. Just got the tranny redone yesterday and replaced my tcs4200 with a pt4000 so far so good but I havent been to the track yet. Now that I think about it the first time it broke it wouldnt go to 1st from a stop or anything. You may can clean the valvebody out and hope and pray it will fix it. goodluck
