You lost me in the way you said it, but I'm guessing you are hitting the speed governor. You said you are going 65 then go until 4500 rpm.

It's been forever since I've hit the stock speed governor, but I think it kicks in around 95. Get a chip or a microtuner and you will be able to remove it.

The Microtuner will take care of the shifts as well as the speed limiter. Best $$$ you will ever spend on your rig.

she floors it I floor it she bets me because she's driving my vw!! at my speed the cr_py tranny dosent know that i want to drop to 3rd and pull all the way up to 5000 + rpm then shift/NOT GO to 4TH AND PULL LIKE MY HORSE PULLS DA WAGON AND GIVE UP AT 4500 RPM.

And if you are going to ask for help, you should probably try asking in general, every day English.

Trying to decipher your ramblings is like trying to understand a 3 year old with a mouth full of crackers...

I have the 01 Expy 5.4. I just tuned it with the Superchips microtuner and used the Superchips shift point options. I noticed the same thing you were talking about, now it's much better. Not ideal, but much better.

check here

I bought mine here. It's cheaper than advertised on the site


p.s. If you haven't already, also look into a cat back system and intake system. You should be able to find those on the link above too
