+1 on the 25mph.

If you added the trickshift, you're done, no need to work it in or anything. it mixes in with the fluid and you're good to go.

Clean the governor, and if that doesn't fix it, start looking at adjusting your tv linkage or other more advanced diag to see why it's shifting so late. Ross has a quick and dirty way to do it, about setting idle and loosen the adjustment at the tranny and turn it one way then a smidge back or something, i used it on mine and it worked great.

Even pedal to the floor, mine locks up at about 30mph, 35mph at the very latest if i'm on it. About 25ish when leisurely driving is normal for me.
