WOT Shift Points?

Are the Wide open Throttle shift points COMPLETLY determed by the PROM? Say if someone programmed it to shift at 7500 on a stock TPI, (which I already know is absurd) Would it still shift that high?

The ECMs used on 3rd Gen F-bodies doesn't control the shifting of the transmission. Only the newer 4th Gens with their electronic transmissions does the ECM control the shift points.

The ECM does control the "locking/unlocking" of the TCC, if you have the 700R4/4L60 tranny though.

So what controls the Shift Points? Some Sensor?

The governor inside the tailshaft of the transmission. The springs and weights can be changed to tailor the part throttle and WOT shift points. You'll stand a better chance of getting your question answered on the tranny board since the ECM doesn't play a role.
