So what you are saying is that your rev limiter kicks in at 5500?
You have a check valve installed? Has it always been like this or did it just start happening?

sometimes it will go away. I do have the check valves for the map. I can change my vtec engagement and the the "limiter" thing kicks in again!

whats your spark plug gap. Sounds like u are blowing the flame kernal out on the plugs. I believe people say to lower the plug gap to .028 to .030. good luck.

2 step colder plugs gapped to .030 
It sounds like your vtec controller is miswired or something. Could be a bad ground maybe. Do you have a CEL? If so check it and get back with us! If not than it is 100% you VAFC wiring

make sure you're not leaning/running too rich. have a friend drive behind you and look for black smoke..
I suggest getting bigger injectors, throwing the missing link away, and running 10 pounds, dyno tuned with the vafc.
