You wanna know what I think is happening? I think you're in over your head and you have no clue about what you're doing. You just mash the gas pedal to the floor and hold on. That is not good for your car, you or even other people on the road.

Update:
Yea i found out that the limiter was taken off so if i start on first gear and floor the gas pedal i can hit 7 rpms then it will then change to second gear so that kinda kool wheni get intake an exhaust i be sounding real good:P

No point in removing the limiter if no other engine work was done. Were the valve retainers replaced, or the valve springs, or the rockers upgraded to withstand higher RPMs? BTW, from what it sounds like, the limiter WASN'T removed, only the shift maps were changed. The tranny is now being told to shift at a higher RPM if you are at WOT, and that really isn't smart at the level yours is set. Another note, are you actually hitting 7K RPMs or is it around 6800? Isn't our stock fuel cut at 6800RPMs? If anything, the tranny is being told to shift at 6700, right before fuel cut, which again, isn't smart if you are bone stock.
