3k gov. springs installed

hey all - well i got my act together today and installed my 3k gov. spring kit, from the top of the afc, which wasint all that hard. i started her up and drover her around and noticed a couple of things. first i probablly need to reslide my torque plate. but when i stomped on it it would rev to about 2,900 after it shifted to 2nd, it then reved backup only to about 2, 600-700 then shifted to 3rd. and then reved back up to almost 3,000 rpm. is this normal? before i did the install when i stomped on it it would rev to about 2,700 and then shift, but would never drop more than 100-200 rpm. basically what im tryin to say is the shift from 2nd - 3rd is really short now. what do i do? do i have to go back and recheck the springs or somethin? when i did start the motor idle seemed the same before which was good. will sliding my plate forward a bit change anything as far as the shift from 2nd - 3rd? please let me know what ya all know! thanks!
