Maybe you installed it wrong? Maybe at what you think is 5,000rpm's is really the rpm limiter of 6,800rpm's? I don't really know though, just throwing ideas out there.

Get rims! I regret not getting rims first. It gives you looks and performance to boot. Just get a tire/rim combo that weighs less than the stock wheels. What I'm planning on getting does.

Weird?

Rims, they are having probs getting the HP to fit right. Wait for some more 'reputable' companies to release headers!

MAKE SURE THAT THE TACH LEAD WIRE ISNT NEXT TO ANOTHER WIRE THAT HAS CURRENT FLOWIN THROUGH EM. FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR POWER CABLE FOR YOUR AMP? IT COULD BE THAT
