My 7AT revs slip up about 500 rpm when shifting from 4th to 5th under heavier load.
So if I were upshifting from 4th at 4000 RPM, it would surge up a bit to 4500ish rpm before dropping down and locking into 5th

Has anyone else experienced this or know what to beef up? Upgraded valvebody? I'm worried about wear and tear this would cause.

Background:
My local track has a straight where I'm topping out 4th right now, right before braking, and I'm thinking of switching from 275/40R18 to 275/35R18 due to better availability of the more competitive tire compounds. I think that would force me to shift to 5th if I didn't want to bounce off the rev limiter at that point. It's also concerning when it happens around town.
