transmission problem ..carb problem any ideas ??

Let me start out by sayin i am not a expert i know some basics but anyways . I had a stock 350 put in my 85 trans am cc carb 700r4 . I found out after a while of wondering why my car was shifting poorly and sluggish the mechanic never adjusted the tv cable . i took it to a tranny shop they said they adjusted it . to me it shift great now nice and smooth then hard when i floor it with the corvette servo and shift kit . it still seems like something is off if i floor it from dead stop it barely spins the tires then if im cruising at 30 mph then floor it rpms only go up to like 3000 but then when im driving at 45 mph or so i floor it the car kicks in good rpms go up to 4000ish then when i get to 60 mph it shifts then seems to kinda lose that power rpm alittle above 3000 . any ideas is this normal ??
