When you put the trans in the car, did you have the tune changed to compensate for the 4000 stall. It sounds like it may have went into limp mode after you hit the rev limiter.

Sounds like you went into limp mode as mentioned, I would scan for codes the slipping feeling is starting the 3rd gear, When you turned the car off you reset the code, The code is likley for the 2-3 solenoid and the test for this code needs to be removed with the 4000 stall or it will set intermitantly and cause limp mode

You need to tune for the trans too, not just the engine.
