Default 3500 RPM's fells like I am hitting the rev. limiter...WTF?

Heres the story. I had a OBD II GSR Swap in my hatch, I sold the motor and replaced it with a 96 Single slam. I drove it with just header for about 30 miles, ran fine, super slow and loud until I could get my exhaust cut back down to original(had to extend it for the GSR header) Once I picked up the car I drove it about a 1/4 mile and something wasn't right. So I stopped and left the car there for about 8 hours, I picked it up just now and on the way home could not go over 3500 RPM's. When I do the car starts to jerk really hard. What is causing this? Did they maybe burn through a sensor? I am clueless. Never heard of this before. Can someone help me out on where to look?
thanks in advance!

maybe your TPS sensor is bad, it can be plenty of things bad.

Actually once I started it back up in came on. I have no idea how to read it though. I am not good with the pulses and all that crazyness.
