Question 700R4 shifting RPM W/new crate 350TPI

I have my car in the shop with a new crate motor being installed. The engine is the Scoggin Dickey Vortec TPI. It has a redline higher than my old stock 350TPI. I also bought a new Mad Dog Punisher 700R4 built to 450HP with a lock up conv. I also got a PCMforless custom chip. My question is will I be able to use the higher RPM's without doing something else? Will my car shift at the same RPM it used to?

Ok cool, so it is vacuum. I'll have that looked at. Yea I got a Hurst dual gate so that might be the easy way out for a while. Thanks guys.

Your 700 isn't vacuum controlled . If your shift points are off, you'll need to modify the governor weights and/or springs to get it correct.
