are you sure it's slipping?

It's hard to make your TC go off in 4th but they kinda have the same syptoms

was the clutch kit brand new when you bought it?

I havent really gotten on mine yet, but with ur mods, you shouldnt be slipping

Did you give it enough time to break in?

I had mine on the dyno after 500-600 miles and it held several pulls of 450 rwhp in 4th with no problem. How much power do you have?
