And why would you need to go much higher than that?

My guess is you are using an automatic ECU.

Because they are supposed to wind higher and make peak power at 7,600rpms.

I knew that...

Ever think that his tach is a bit off and he really is hitting 7600?

The ecu is most likely an automatic ecu, best option would be to purchase a chip from e-bay and have it installed at a local shop. If you do purchase the chip it would be a good idea to also buy some type of rev limiter because most chips if not all eliminate the rev limiter. MSD has a couple of options, normally hondas will use one of the MSD6-series products.

No, if its a stock engine it quits making power at 7,600rpms. This was already covered in a post above.
