Default Dead spots when under vtec?

Ive been gettin on my car a lot, ever since i got the swap put it, andddd... Once it gets to like 7500-8000rpms it feels like there are "dead spots" almost like it gets sluggish for a second. Its kind of hard to explain, and i really have no idea what causes it. Im thinking maybe cause my exhaust is too small? (stock DX piping).

yup. exhaust too small. got my swap done this weekend in a 92 vx, with stock vx exhaust and dc 4-1 header. motor felt good till right before vtec. got my exhaust, 2.25 inch with cat, resitnator magna flow muffler. pulls real nice to 8000 after the exhaust.
