4900RPM Flatline, WTF

Hey folks,
        Just curious, I'm waiting on a PowerDyne supercharger and had my PCM
flashed by Leach for the SC. Well, now at WOT I flat line at 4900RPM, no
stutter, not like the engine is dying, almost like a governor plate on it.
It stays PEGGED on 4900RPM's until I let off, what gives, WTF? When I back
off the throttle it will shift and then flat line at 4900 again. I'm
wondering whether I'm just out of air and dumping fuel that can't burn or if
Leach set my RPM limiter WAY too low and messed the shift points up. Below
are my current mods, then the rest of them I'm waiting on. I could really
use some input on this one as it's REALLY annoying:).

Thanks,

Shawn
