Default Hitting third

This is a stupid question, but how do I hit third? I thought that once I did the mods below I could get third in my manual with 3.55's. TC off of course. 2nd squeals hard. I don't know if I am over revving or winding it to much before the shift 2 to 3.

Help me out.

Thanks.

Hmmm What are you shifting at?

Even with a full tank and a passenger I can usually chirp third with pretty much no effort...

I am able to hit it, but I cant chirp it either...

I got some delete plates, intake and a tune coming in this week, so that should do the trick.

I ran my car today, 13.8 quarter mile at 117mph...first time running a 1/4 mile and all i've done is an axleback and the UDP...

I was trying to chirp third for a while and just couldnt do it...but i havent missed it yet.

Trying giving it a little bit of gas while you are shifting, so pop the revs up between shifts and it should chirp the rubber out a bit..

Haven't had a problem getting a good chirp out of 3rd, 2nd will smoke & 1st will just melt the tires.
JLT2 & Brenspeeds 93 tune here.3.55's also.
