Well considering you're running a stock ECU with a tune for cam's MUCH smaller than those, that could be one of your problems.

Not going over 4500 RPM'S complys with you being in "Limp Mode". Limp mode is based timing/fuel seting because if an enine fault the ECU has found. So to protect itself it will not go over 4500 RPM"S and run rich with no timing. Check The codes even tho there is no CEL. Then get back with the code reselts. Visualy check connectors on your engine harness/wires for cut/unhooked wires/harnesses.

after driving a few more times i have came to a conclusion that i am rapping out the rpms my tak is just way off. the only problem i got is that the car will not idle after it warms up it was an auto that was converted to manual could it be something wired wrong i didnt do the conversion it was already done when i bought the car.

Its probably due to the fact that it has cams and is not tuned. Depending on what cams you have. The map sensor is probably not reading enough vaccum which in turn ups the injector duty cycle.

It's good enough to get you to the dyno. It's not good enough to run around on the street with.
