Default Not downshifting at WOT

Just got done putting a new engine in my 99 Camaro and before I pulled it I had a stall in it and a mail order tune and everything worked fine. I just did a torquer v2 cam, and ported/milled 243s now if I punch it going about 15-20 it’ll kick down to first but about anything above that it doesn’t kick down into a powerband it just kind of crawls along. I’ve replaced the tps sensor and have a new vss sensor on the way. Tuner said it’s not tune related and no codes pop up. Converter locks up fine, in normal driving the car shifts fine, floor it from a stop and it’ll upshift fine. It’s only flooring it at anything above 20-25mph you basically get nothing. I’m trying to add videos of a downshift to first pull and then another pull where nothing really happens.

Have you scanned the vehicle to see if the down shift is being commanded? If the down shift is commanded, have you checked the downshift solenoid?

I found the issue. Throttle cable was only adjusted to open 85% at wot. Adjusted it and now it works fine.
