Default Need help with T56 trans

Ok I bought a brand new T56 for my car when I was putting it together and since this was my first T56 I didnt look into it much. I have a few thousand miles on it so far an it does great just not under higher horsepower shifting. It has a OZ700 tex clutch, new master, new slave, new pilot, ripper shifter, filled with mobil 1, never thrashed on, bleed regularly, and the drill mod. I am making around 560-580 rwhp NA and want to be able to drop my 1/4 mile time by being able to get into the gears quicker. Sometimes mine will go into 4th and sometimes it kinda grinds which I dont try and force it an end up coasting through the lights. It does great other wise, and even racing does good sometimes but requires a good bit of effort to get it into 3rd and 4th, 2nd is fine. I dont seem to have any problems with the trans otherwise shifts great round town, smooth and solid. But I need this fixed asap and if I need a new trans I need to know who would have something avaliable asap. Thanks in advance would like to hear from some vendors as well. Not looking for the liberty as I hear it wears to quickly in a DD app.

To me it sounds like a hydraulic issue. You said you already have the drill mod though. Maybe someone else will chime in here, but thats my feeling.

An adjustable master cylinder makes all the world's difference I have seen numerous times.
Being able to adjust out all that freeplay in the pedal helps a ton.
