help!!

My 1987 Iroc 5.7 TPI has 3.73 gears in the 9 bolt, borla cat back and shift kit. I power the car up until just prior to the wheels break lose and launch. I use bf goodrich comp t/a zrs not drag radials and get a 2.0 60ft. but I run out of rpm at the top end. The trans won't shift into 4th at WOT. the car ran a best of 14.3@93 with the borla exhaust fully closed. What should I do about the shifting? What about a stall converter? The car is stock except for the above mods and a hypertech thermomaster chip, temp switch, themostat 160'.

1999 Camaro SS LS1 m6 12.6@112mphw/1.9 60ft
1987 Iroc-Z 5.7 TPI best et. 14.3@94mph w/2.0 60ft.
