why wont my car shift at wot

i was reading a tech article and it said that our cars wont shift into over drive at wot. i have noticed this when im doing about 90 its at about 3900 then at about 100mph its at around 4500. it said something about a upshift that you can buy from summit for about $30. where does it go and how hard is it to install it and does it work?

tv valve in the trans is set up not to allow a shift into OD at wide open throttle. Its probably more trouble then its worth to put another in. Besides, you shouldnt be speeding, anyway:nono:. lol... J/K
