Having trouble with 700r4 shiftpoints.

I just swapped from tpi to carb and now im having some shift point problems. first, it shifts a little too late when normal driving, and also it shifts way too early at wot...like 3750 at the latest. is this a tv cable problem? maybe the new throttle brakcet? throttle return spring not hooked up right? i might not even be getting full throttle from putting the pedal to the floor...there might be some more throw left in it. either way it feels a little late and a little hard on all the shifts (not like a bang, but still throws you back). maybe im just used to driving my other car (hard shift thing), but i can tell the tranny should be shifting and it waits a couple hundred rpms with almost no acceleration.

Man I got that same problem on my 88 camaro that I swapped from tbi to carb and I have the shifting issue. I made me a new bracket to hook the cables to by cutting and welding some extra lenth to the holes that the cables hook through. I would just like to know the right bracket to buy that would fix that problem and if I should buy the geometry corrector.

i found the one today. holley makes it, and that was my problem. too much room between the cables bracket and the throttle blade.
