5r55s Tranny ??

..just got a 55 F100 with a 4.6 Mustang Eng and 5r55s Trans..Everything's great driving normal but when you want to hit passing gear and keep the pedal to the metal the tranny changes very aggressively, even makes the rear tires squeal..I did not drive it that way when I bought it..I called the PO and he said he adjusted it to drive normal for him..If I wanted to take off that fast the truck can be adjusted so the trans won't change that hard..I'm not a mechanic..Can someone please comment on this..I certainly don't have to drag race it..but just wondering..Thanks
