I'd bet money you're about four ounces low right now.

I just replaced with new tranny fluid those symptoms got reduced and much improved.
specially the super charged sound also reduced.

I also got a quote for a full transmission change just in case for worse case scenario and that was 393.

I think that I should probably pull 1 of the plugs that's easy to get to and take a look at it so I can see if they have been done. So I can save that money if they don't need to be done .

I just don't know the service history of the car and want to make sure the car is running right mechanically before I start modding. I think it's the right way to go.

Thanks again to everyone who has tried to help me and give me advice. I'm on here reading trying to learn all that I can about this platform and what works and what's just a wast of time and money
