Power droping off after 7k WHY?
Recently had the car on the dyno and its just not making the power it should. It makes great power all the way up to 7000rpm and after that the the curve goes down and the torque also drops a lot until 8500. Even stock setups hold power to redline, 7k is where the max power is reached and im losing 30-40whp by redline.(8500)
The setup:
-9:1 gsr
-Stock port b16 head, supertech valvetrain
-Skunk2 tuner 2 cams
-Top mount t4
-Billet HTA3586 turbo
-3in exhaust
-precision 600 core
-victor x intake manifold
-precision 1000s
-M&W pro 10
-Crane coil
Things ive tested:
-Compression is 185 on all 4 cylinders
-Boost leak tested entire intercooler system
-Jumped vtec to make sure its engaging
-Checked bov for leak
-Checked timing its fine
-Cams have no wear, rockers in good shape
-removed and checked intake manifold/ intake ports
-Swaped from my s300 and pluged in neptune to see if that changed anything
-Going to remove exhaust tomorrow to see if theres a restriction
Any suggestions are appreciated becuase i am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out

I could prolly get a dyno graph, it's deff not running out of fuel because we stoped tuning at 11psi and it still was extremely rich up top. The boost is holding solid throughout the rpm range to redline

What power are you making? No offense, but your original post is worthless. It's nice to see your setup, but without a dyno graph it's hard to diagnose. Shots of the engine bay are helpful as well.
have u checked the exhaust or are you just assuming? if you have a flex joint check it to make sure it hasn't collapsed. it sounds like you have an exhaust restriction. how rapidly does the power drop? is it gradual from 7k-8.5k, or is it sudden?
Its a brand new flex pipe, Also the power slowly drops off when is should just keep climbing to redline
