Default 1jz-gte soarer automatic not up shifting on high revs

I have a 1JZ-GTE swapped 1995 SC300 with a 5 speed AUTOMATIC Transmission that came in the Soarer. Can anybody give me the exact model number for this transmission. Is it the A340E? Anyways on to the issue, when I floor the car it will not up shift and goes into the "red" 8k range. My ecu is not chipped. I do have bolt ons: inter cooler, 3" exhaust, and down pipe.
What would cause this?
Thanks

Transmission Code is on the passenger side of the trans casing. Start there.

Will check, I am pretty sure the A340 (4) stands for 4 speed so I believe it isn't in that series but I will post back with what I find.

Transmission reads:

AISIN AW CO LTD
MADE IN JAPAN

MODEL NO.
30-40LE


35000
24260


Serial NO:
92KR93480

CROSS REFERENCE IS A340E
What I am not understanding is that the A340E is a 4 speed but I have 5 gears on my transmission tat I feel shifting. Does this mean 4 speed with overdrive, or 3 speed with Overdrive...

I know the transmission shifts in accordance with TPS and Speed Sensor, how does the speed sensor register because I have an auto SC300 diff and 19" wheel with 255/45 I believe, do you think it's throwing off the Speed Sensor?

I will try and post a video soon

OK so apparently everything is normal but my tach is just registering it at over 8k which is false.

When it drops into O/D at around 50-60mph and the RPM's drop its almost like a whole gear change, even sounds and feels like it depending on you're exhaust etc..

Hmm I thought they didn't count overdrive as a "gear"
