Have you checked your fluid level? if its low the transmission will not shift into gear

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster

i just had my transmission rebuilt and what happened with me was i back out the drive way and put it in drive and started driving turn on to a major street start speeding up (as fast as a stock 2.3 can lol pedal to the floor) my car gets up to 25mph and starts sounding like it was in neutral and revs really high i turn rite into dennys which is a couple blocks from my house parked in a spot and was thining it was the knock problem from the sensor turned car off turned it back on put it in reverse and wouldnt go anywhere so pushed it back put it in D and was able to limp going (25mph) so if your car sound like that then have it rebuilt or consider swapping it for a T5 manual if you like controling your speed
