What car? Year, model, etc... 7200RPM? In an accord? Yeah, that would be the rev limiter kicking in. There's a reason why it would'nt let you go past 7200. It's to protect it from being destroyed by the "driver."

Ah ok. Check the vtec solenoid. That's the only advice I have at the moment.

Make sure you didnt dent your oil pan. If the oil pickup gets dented you wont have enough oil pressure to engage vtec. Also make sure the screens clean on the vtec solenoid. Check oil. Are there any check engine lights on?
Edit: nvm glad to here you got it figured out.

It should be drop in. The only prob you should have is A/C Compressor Clearance. This is for 4th and 5th gens.
