Default wooshing noise..

i was driving home today (about an 8minute drive if that matters to anyone) and i noticed a strange wooshing noise before shifts. car is a 98 a4 camaro with a shift kit and a lid. about 75,000 miles on the clock. it only happens wen i give it a little more gas than usual, not really gettin on it, more like if i was trying to show off how hard the thing shifts into second. if i baby it like i normally would drive it around there is no noise. transmission fluid is nice and pink and doesnt smell burnt. any ideas?

Got me dude only thing that ever made a "whooshing" noise was my stock rear end. Did it start after the shift kit install? The only other weird noises my car made on shifts was my torque management kicking in, but that was like a popping sound on the shifts. I guess check to make sure tranny fluid is full.
