200R4 has a governor just like a 350 does. That controls the WOT upshifts. Depending on which code 200R4 you get , the governor will be set differently. You can buy performance governors separate from the transmissions at -for instance- CK performance.
You should be able to talk to the builder about the shift RPMs you are looking for.
I have spoken and dealt with Chris at CK ...

Another review here. I installed a new
TCI T-400 into a mildly built 70 GS last week along with a Hughes converter. This tranny cost about $1200 and I wasn't sure it would be worth it. I have had 3 rebuilt ones in my other GS and never really liked the performance of them. This TCI is what the doctor ordered. You don't even know this thing shifts because it's so quick. No gov. adjustments ...

Sounds like the vacuum modulator is not working. It works from vacuum from the engine and dictates the the shifting of the trans. to shift under light load. Check the hose lines for cracks or
disconnection at the vacuum modulator at the back of the trans. and the back of the intake manifold.

Ok Tim here you go.
When you stage and get ready to launch, you
preload the converter like at 2000 rpms. Now if you have a 4000 stall converter, when the light turns green, when you mash it at your launch, the engine and converter will flash up to the 4000 speed stall, therefore putting your cam and converter into the proper rpm range to launch your car as efficiently as possible.
This ...

Since I am doing a total redo of this car and the transmission is out I would like to rebuild it since it has been setting for 25 years. I assume it was working when parked. How much trouble is it to rebuild?
