Default help ! my car wont go past 3k rpm

i have a ls/vtec swap in a EJ recently my differentials went out on my b16 tran's so we just swapped to a gsr trans and now it wont go past 3 k i feel as if im losing so much power and we checked to make sure everything was plugged and it was. At this point we're clueless my car was is j-k tuned, my friend suggested that it could be my ecu, he said it could be acting up since it was tuned.... and that doesnt make sense to me so please h-t pimp my ride and help me get past 3k
