87 formula 2 problems

Hi everyone this looks like a pretty cool place for info. Looks like i might be around a while.

Ok here goes just bought a 1987 formula firebird it is in great shape.
305tpi

first thing i did was change exaust to flow master then junk the smog pump.

ok here are the problems

1.Car wanders when driving.

alignment 3 times (firestone)
Brand new 50s expensive all around.(firestone)
handles great no vibrations or shimmys just wanders and does not pull to one side.

2.
tune up done
plugs
wires
cap/rotar
all filters.

Problem---The car is an automatic with over drive.The seller said it had a (shift pack) no idea what that is.

when car shifts from 2 to 3rd it bogs down then picks back up only cruising at low speed.
when gooing fast does not bog from 2 to 3rd
only like crusing at regular speed it stumbles well more of a bog in 3rd?

And i have the shift in regular drive not over drive.

mater of fact it will churp 2nd and fish tail.it goes pretty good for a 305.

No misses cant even feel it idle.I know very rare lol.

Any sugestions on these probles would be appreciated

Thanks
