Ram HD free reving on Freeway?

HISTORY: A reputable shop just finished installing a brand new RAM HD clutch kit on my 2000 SS. Prior to the clutch install, a brand new D&D viper internal t56 was installed and was working perfectly. My old clutch pressure plate broke, and I replaced the entire clutch with a brand new Ram HD kit. A new throw-out bearing was also installed at the time.

PROBLEM: 400 break-in miles have been put on the clutch with no abuse. On the freeway, and I accelerate, and the clutch seems to "free rev" or "slip" sort of say, then shortly after engage, all done in a smooth motion. (No poping or clunking).

Frankly I dont know what it can be. Has anyone heard of this, suggestions?

Try going 35mph, and put the car in 6th gear and floor it for a quick second. See if the motor bogs, or if it just revs up and then catches, the installers might have messed something up
