Is your ECU chipped? Does the motor die out completely?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its probably your o2 sensor.

I'd have more work done than just rods and pistons before going anywhere near a 9800 RPM rev limiter. You're just asking to bend some valves really fast.

Probably the O2 sensor is causing the ECU to default to a safe mode, I don't know why it would do that though because I don't think the ECU actually uses the O2 sensor at that high RPM. It could be the distributor though; if you're losing crank or cam position it might make the ECU hiccup and go into limp home. And CELs when it starts to act weird?

replaced the O2 and then do some head work before 9800 sounds like a good idea. it sounds like a good build thought but some spring and retainers would do you some good. what kinda of pistons and rods are they btw???
