Default Tranny problem?

Hey guys i have a question.

I did the 250 mile break in period that a local shop said i should do and was getting it tuned the other day. Its at like 300 something miles now.

I was in 3rd gear at about 90-100 mph WOT and all of a sudden the rpms jump to 6k out of no where and i let off. Felt like it went into neutral.

i pull into a gas station and everything looks in order. I drive it home and it shifts into every gear and did more WOT runs in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear and it shifted great but i didn't repeat WOT to 90-100 something in third gear cause it freaked me out last time


Any thoughts?


Thanks,
Luke

Doesn't sound like the tranny to me- Sounds more like something with the converter maybe??? I doubt it's the tune, Charlie's pretty good at that stuff, but IMO, it doens't sound like the tranny. But I could be wrong...
