Default 4x4 saph issue

my mate has got a 1990 4x4 saph cos with a stage 1 chip cone filter running 16psi. The problem he is having is that it pulls well to about 4500 then the power dies tails off and starts feeling restricted. He thinks it might be the standard exhaust or the fact its 4x4 causing this or possibly runninhg a bit lean. Any help will be appreciated cheers

its not missfiring or running bad just feels as though the power tails off at about 4500 but it still revs all the way to the redline
