You can make it shift faster by a simple modulator adjustment with a pocket screwdriver. IMO, if you have the original GTO trans, it is programmed for that car, and I would leave it alone unless you are going to drag race the car. The factory '67 valving and calibration was optimal for the application then and still is now.

Vacuum modulator adjustment affects part throttle shifts. Full throttle is controlled by the governor weights and springs.

A '67 GTO TH400 should shift fast already. When it is rebuilt, the modulator should be replaced with one of the small units with the red stripe on it, and be adjusted in for the quickest shift. Upgrade the clutch packs, and have a 4l80 roller sprag installed.
