Default Problems after Prostars installed (?)

Well I put on some 15x10 in the rear with 28x10 hoosiers and in the front 15x3.5 with 26x4.5 et front runners. Well, I have problems now. Once I hit 80mph. My car clicks into cruise control (not litterly) What happens is, It like the cruise control is on, But I can't turn it off. If I put it in N, the rpms raise up. So I have to turn the car off for a few secs, and then start again. I have a stage 3 4L60E. With a trans cooler and a 3500 stall. Then while I was sitting in a drive thru, the trans temp went to 234 degrees and my intake air temp went to 135 degrees, and it was almost 50 degrees out. Then I let the car sit for an hour, and now the temps seem to be fine. This is pissing me off! Has anyone had this problem or does anyone have any suggestions.

Sounds like your trans might be hurt. How old is the trans, and how many miles are on it?

Well I let the car overnight, and for some reason it seemed to correct itself all is okay. (for now)

the only thing I could think that it could be is. That when I was putting in the wheel studs. I did not pull the axles but I had the speed sensor disconnected and I turned the car on and put in N to rotate the axles.
