That number is worthless without additional data.

What speed is this happening at?

How many gears has the auto trans automatically downshifted when you mashed on the pedal?

What happens if you manually downshift when flooring it uphill?

I am not convinced this is not related to the kickdown cable misrouting/maladjustment.

Here's something else for you to try: (engine off) Have a helper press the accelerator pedal to the floor while you watch the accelerator arm on the IP. While they are holding it to the floor, see if you can rotate the accelerator arm on the IP even further. Is the pedal able to rotate the throttle arm all the way by itself? Maybe there is too much slack in the pedal cable or other (max WOT?) adjustment?
