Default Shifting question

Hey there, I have a 2010 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 crew cab. I have recently put in a superchips vivid chip, which gives it significantly more power and well worth the money, and a magnaflow muffler which sounds very very nice. (Doing both upgrades has given me way better fuel economy)
Question is, when I stomp on it (SC is tuned to Octane 87 performance) it doesn't like to shift out of 2nd gear to well. Just hovers at 6-7k rpm and wont shift up until i let off the accelerator. Note- this didn't happen when I didn't have the chip and doesn't happen in normal acceleration.
So i'm wondering if anyone has this chip or has had this problem and knows how to help.

Thank you.

I have contacted superchips and they are going to get back to me on it.
I dont do it often, only do it when i'm doing 0-60 timings really.
