Default Great low-mid end power, none at high...

Hey there guys, I've got the chance to drive RSX Auto for fun last week. I notice that when I was at around 3000-4000 ish, I felt great torque and was happy. Then I stepped it up another notch revving up till 6200 ish and felt no power at all. And no point of revving that high to produce all the power. I heard the engine sucking in air (SRI) but I felt no power at all... Is this normal?

I mean don't get me wrong, low-mid end torque is great for daily driving, just wondering...

yeah its true but your also driving a base auto, and they don't really get up and move all that much anyways, now if you were to test drive a Type-s, i think you would have the power your looking for that is non existing in the base auto.

That motor should still pull to redline. Maybe there is something else wrong...try checking the obvious first (plugs, filter, etc)

First time I've heard someone say a Honda engine is making enough torque but not enough HP.

Are you saying it's not making more at 6k than 4k or it's not making any?
