    can't go wide open please help me

    I am running an 03 cav 2.2L auto. As a newbie I am having problems understanding the shift tables. I could really use a howto on using these tables. My current problem is when I go wide open on a closed track I can only reach speeds of about 110mph and then the tranny downshifts to 3rd. Thus going to instant redline at 7000rpm. How can I force the tranny to stay in overdrive so I can push it to about 6000rpm or 140mph? Ideally I would like to set it so that the car can't downshift when my speed exceeds 110mph. Can this be done?

    can you post your hpt file please.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Also, the WOT 3-4 shift rpm is 8192. Check the part throttle shift speed table,
    the 3-4 and 4-3 shift speeds need to be lowered at the higher tps ranges.
