messed up 1-2 shift

I think it might be a result of the crappy B&M shift kit, because my 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are great, but my 1-2 shift is all screwed up. At WOT the engine hits the rev limiter at 5000, bounces around there for a long awhile (sometimes it doesn't seem to shift at all until I let off the gas) while my speed is slowly still increasing then the RPMs finally drop slowly (about a 1200 decrease) and then drops another another 500 and I feel the upshift and once it shifts I can feel the car pull much harder.

I have reset the throttle cable, so I'm wondering what exactly is wrong, is my torque converter slipping, or are the clutch packs in the trans. wearing down, or was it a crappy shift kit and maybe the 1-2 accumulator is messed up?

Thanx for any help,
Jason
