How can I make my 2nd gear shift to move up at part throttle, but down at WOT?

Ok, I have a rebuilt 83 700-R4 in my 89 IROC w 350... I know, I know, 83 it sucks, it has no compression plates so it kind of bangs into drive and what not, but over all it really tears the tires up... it has a wider 2-4 band and the corvette servo... my question is.. as i cruise along, i notice that it shifts into 2nd at around 10-15 mph... but at WOT it will scream to somewhere around redline, i forget the exact numbers... in my opinion I think it takes too long to shift into second at WOT. If I change the governor gears, the change will effect the entire band of RPM correct? so is there anything I can do?

Owner of a 1989 IROC-Z Camaro, a.k.a. "The Babe Magnet". Painted a cheap metallic blue that chips off all too easily and covers over the IROC-Z decals on the doors, also has non-leaking T-tops, ps, pw, power rear hatch, working A/C. Mods: SLP intake runners, gutted MAF sensor, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, modified air spoil, 3.27 posi rear end.
Broken stuff: rear spoiler brake light, driver side lock, power antenna, tilt steering, rear end bushings, cracked passanger side ground effect, washer fluid tab, leaking exhaust and a rotted through muffler that sparks when the car bottoms out while driving like any 17 year old does.

Um, at WOT it SHOULD shift @ redline? Doesn't it do this for the others too?
