if its running in limp mode the car will not engage in vtec and the rev limit will kick in before 8 grand. do you have a check engine light? if so what codes?

If the butterflies arent wired up then it will feel like crap and the knock sensor will put it into limp mode which will disable vtec. Finish the wiring.

connect the two jumper wires first to see what codes you're throwing. if your knock sensor is not hooked up most likely thats one of the codes you may be popping.
