breaks traction in rain, only revs to 7k

So if I break traction in first gear (not near any other cars) the revs hit a wall. Shouldnt it rev up to redline? It has happened at 6k and 7k.

I was doing some donuts in the rain and it would rev to 9k. Do this put the car on 4 jack stands and redline first gear. See If it cuts off or not.

7k is the cold motor rev limit, so I'd start there and figure out why the car thinks its cold. Pull any pending codes too.
