I've had plenty of issues like this when there is custom tuning involved. Gotta get the laptop hooked up and take a log while attempting to recreate the issue.

I would connect a fuel pressure gauge and run it up under the wiper and go for a drive. Watch the fuel pressure while under WOT when the 2-3 shift occurs to see if the fuel pump is having a hard time maintaining fuel pressure.

I would also look at the timing advance to make sure the PCM is not pulling timing due to high KR, or Knock Retard.
