Is my '85 auto up-shifting correctly? ***video***

Upshift points seem normal, even with the rear tires spinning like crazy in yours
They normally shift ~5600-5400 rpm under full throttle.
Maybe time to upgrade the tires.

Thanks for the replys, here are the facts...
car is totally stock, (except for tires, and RMB )
Road is dry, asphalt, strait
Tires are sumitomo
255/40 ZR 17 94W (rears)
about 40% tread
limited slip differential
no brake torque used
gear selector in D
rear wheel spin to 50mph
ambient air temp was 45

Take a picture with the car off, to see where the rpm needle sits. The fact that you're odometer works means it's been opened up, needles sometimes get nudged up or down

It could be off a hair, but the speedometer is correct when compared to roadside speed radars, and my GPS.

Wheel spin to 50mph?
I don't doubt you, but I've never heard of anyone with a 32v that wasn't supercharged being able to do anything like that... Mine sure won't with a limited slip and moderately sticky Firestone Firehawks and I have Porkens chip, no cats and a tweaked vacuum/emissions system.
Mine shifts all the way at redline when I have the pedal down. I did have to play around with the bowden cable to get it shifting where I wanted it though.
