The shifting has to do with load, RPM, and other factors in the programming. Maybe you should reset your computer.

The WOT shift point seems to be about 62-64K, which is before the touque drops off for (somewhat) stock motors at least. With the more open exhaust, the 75 shift point should let you get a little more power from your free-er flowing exhaust. Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (120K+ miles & many mods)

Before SVT exhaust, it would downshift at 29mph tops to re-enter 1st gear. Now it is as high as 31 or 32!
