Thats controlled by the governor on the trans or the Ecm. A tune, chip or engine management system could change that. If you make it shift to high before you install the shift kit you could burn up the clutches. I really would think about putting in a C4 or a heavy duty AOD like a streetfighter. The AOD as it comes from ford is the worst transmission ever designed and is very weak. I had less then 300 hp at the crank in my convertible mustang and if I floored the car in OD after about 65 the band would slip. You could stay in D but then you need to have a engine that can handle the rpms you would be making at higher speeds.

Oh, can you get a different governor for the trans? I would like it to shift at about 5,000 rpms.

I plan on having the AOD rebuilt..and I'm putting a shirt kit in it, and a constant press. valve body.
