Default More problems, help!

So i took my car to the shop that was tuning it to return a part (IAT sensor i didnt need) and we finally get it figured what we are going to do w/my block, the street tune is done, not the dyno, because we need to get the oil leak fixed before tey continue, well on my way home im driving, i use cruise on the highway and the car slowly speeds up then lets off over and over, its on the stock tune right now, only idle etc has been messed with, so i try a WOT pull from 60, it goes, but the speedo goes down about 15mph then it blows right thru to 6600 and i let off, it does this at wot and close to it at highspeeds, so i try it from a stop, does the same thing through to 6600 and i let off again, my tranny was rebuilt 25k ago, what is going on?! any ideas?

Hopefully the speed sensor is the problem, otherwise it sounds like the trans is going bye bye

im hoping its not the tranny, it has 25k on it! the speed is showing up messed up on the computer too, and when i punch it from 30 the car speeds up but the speedo sticks at 30, im guessing its not meeting the speed/rpm requirement so its just blowing thru the rpms
