Kickdown and sport mode are two different things, so just checking we are all talking about the same thing...
The "sport" mode simply keeps the transmission in a given gear for a slightly longer time (higher RPM) which adds a little top end RMP "zip" in each gear at the sacrifice of economy. In "normal" mode the transmission shifts earlier to increase economy and comfort.
If your car isn't downshifting (kickdown) on full throttle that is something different, and for that issue check out this recent thread for some info:

Ground point 10 goes through the troublesome BT4 connector above the fuel tank at pin # 12 not shown in this pic
See labeled pin # 13 on the pics top edge
# 12 will be just below # 13 and is Black / Pink color coded , The BT4 connector is mounted sideways . This connector type is used on 4 other areas of the car LS3 , RS3 ect
Do not remove this BT4 connector yet , A pain in the *** to get right and not damage
The car will not start with this BT4 connector removed
As installed the locator pin # A ( heavy gauge wire ) in the top left of the car location is X in color
See page 41
