Default modified 5.9L wont rev out (past 3000 rpm)

My modified 99 dakota rt runs good at low rpms, but dosnt have any power at 3000 rpm or higher. Fuel pressure is at a constant 50 psi even under load. Tried bigger fuel injectors, computer, ignition, no luck. It has a 2800 stall converter. Any ideas??

Sweet! At least it's a relatively easy fix.
