Default Car Chipped but Acting Really Weird

So today i got my car chipped with GIAC software, after it was chipped the car was not running normal. when i got into third and fourth gear, after 3 thousand RPMs it would jump straight up to redline without accelerating as if i was reving the engine. does anyone have a clue what is going on?
