Default Car shifts at 4k after LT install??

Might be in the wrong section.
Put a set of QTP long tubes and and an ORY last night. Install went pretty smooth.
But I took the car out after and drove for about an hour. Everything seemed fine till I went to line up with a friend. I haven't been WOT yet.
As soon as we line up my ses light pops on(I was expecting it because I removed the rear o2's and air) We take off I spin, I lift a little, it shifts early at 4k then it hits 4k in second and shifts again?? I was like WTF I let off and head home. Did a few WOT pulls on the way but it wouldn't get above 4k unless I manually shift.
I am going to check my codes and will post them up. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas.

it wont get past 4k ? usually first thing i check after messing with the headers is the plug wires and plugs . sometimes plugs can have hairline cracks or crack easily . dont sound like much to get worried about . just double check and reset your computer .
