If this happened right after replacing the timing chain i'd have to say it's a problem with cam timing. If you don't build enough cylinder pressure/airflow your engine won't be able to rev past a certain point, sort of like a rev limiter. Unfortunately i'd have to say go back and double check that the timing chain is installed correctly or check and make sure it's the right timing chain and/or that it's not adjustable.
