what are your times. when i ran low 14's and high13's i would have to go to 4th. But when you're not as quick, you don't have to. I don't knwo what's in your car to tell whether or not this is normal. if it's really modded then yeah something is wrong. But if it's stock TII stuff then no. We need more info.

try shifting earlier and see if your ETs drop. if not, then hell, keep it in 3rd if that's what works! that way you only have two shifts to worry about, not 3.
