Default 2003 dyna wide glide won't rev

So I recently purchased in screaming eagle adjustable pushrods camplate and oil pump. Since then it ran well for a few weeks then the crank position sensor went bad and it wouldn't start. So I replaced the cam sensor and its never had as much power since then. And now is gutless and will not rev past 4000rpm it doesn't miss it just acts like it hits a wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anything to avoid going to the stealership.

Is your butterfly opening up in the throttle body when you open up the throttle wide open?

Pull the crankcase drain plug and measure, in oz., the amount of oil that drains out.
Let us know your findings.

Improper oil pump reassembly will cause the motor to sump. Like Scott said, I'd look there first.

...........and if the crankcase, is becoming flooded, 98.742% chance that the O-ring between the oil pump and crankcase has been torn, or harmed in some fashion.
