Default Help Please!!!!!!!

im on the freeway... i gun it...BOOM got good take off...once i hit 80...the speedo needle stops at eighty...so does the RPM needle. it stops at 4000and doesnt want to move no matter how much gas i continue to give it. only thing i can think of is the computer is pulling timing. then i have to let off gas and then hit it again for it to go. iono. its weird.

Can you take it above 4k rpms in lower gears? Does it seen like it's running perfect except when trying to go above 80mph?
