Default Is my 4L60E going bad?

I ran the car 5 times at the local drag strip a week or so ago. On every single run I hit the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift like crazy. On the 4th run it also barely hit it on the 2-3 shift also and on the 5th and final run it hit the rev limiter on 2-3 pretty good as well as still on the 1-2.
The car was tuned for 3.73 gears but I switched to 3.70 gears. Would that matter much? The car has been tuned for the cam so the rev limiter was raised and the shift points are set below the rev limiter. I was thinking its the transmission because the problem got progressive over the night? Any clue as to what my problem could be? Is it tuning, is my tranny slipping, or is it something else????

Thanks
Josh

The bad news is your transmission is going away. Are you wanting to build the unit yourself, when it comes to the rebuild?

I would like to actually get a TH-400 with a transbrake and 4000 stall instead of sinking money into the 4L60E knowing I will not always have it.
