Tranny Problems

I recall my dads 318 satalite would do 95-97 in 2nd before shifting to 3rd. it had g50 14s on it and we did put a mild 270 ish mopar cam in the day with dual exh and a small 600 holley on a edlebrock 318 intake. No major mods but a decent running 318 in a bigger body. Felt pretty snappy but at the track best time was a 14.93 at 97. He had I recall a 2.71 or something in that range with the 8.25 rear.

On the trans if it is making noise and late shifts, ug.. could be a worn front pump, pump bushing or maybe a hung governor?
