not revving over 2500 is limp mode. it is probably NOT your tranny, but more likely to be an MAF or other critical sensor failure

Is your check engine light on bro? Also you may want to take your car to the dealer or performance shope for an overhaul..spark plugs and new fluids...

Questions:
Check engine light on?
After market rims?
how many miles on the car?
last spark plug change?

As I got off my exit I put it in 1st at a yield sign and started to accelerate, as soon as I hit 2500RPM it feels as if my car is red lining and it wont go beyond 2500RPM in ANY gear. Does anyone know what this problem is? Because it seems pretty serious to me unless for some reason 350's do this when it rains for a safety feature but I highly doubt that.
Sounds like fail safe mode (aka "limp" mode). Check for CEL codes (even if CEL light not on using a code reader).
