Default Help! Car seems to hesitate at high RPM

Only mods i have so far are JWT popcharger and Helix 3" exhaust. The exhaust is just a y-back.. so what could be causing this? The car seems to hesitate at high RPMs.. i noticed it when i redlined in 2nd and changed to 3rd.. Could it be the AF ratio is off??

Default hesitation

Could be your rev limiter which I believe is at 6600 rpm's, right near redline. Don't feel bad though, I found my rev limiter at the drag strip!
