can't get a shift into 3rd....

Ok...here is the skinny, I was trying to get a baseline on my car at the drag strip. I have the launch down, but was only capable of mid 15's. I know this car is capable of 14's. I guess this is because it isn't shifting into 3rd through the 1/4 mile. That bothers me somewhat. The car seems to be rapping out in 2nd. I have tried automatic shifting and manuel shifting but to no avail.

any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW..the car has just under 200k miles on it with stock engine and tranny.

Joe
