woah buddy people are trying to help you, no need to get on anyone.

are you throwing any cel codes, where there any mods done right before this started happening, was there any change in tuning?

maybe that's the maximum rpm equivalent torque velocity that the 1st gear can take from a dead stop...

CEL = check error light

If you're OBDII you can just take it to AutoZone or Pep Boys and they can scan it for you, IIRC.
