haha... yeah the car doesnt "buck" or "stumble" when i hit 3800... think of it this way... if you look at the rpm gauge... when you hit 3800, the needle will stay at 3800 no matter how much throttle you give it untill you let off, it goes from running awesome up to 3800 then it sounds like the car is trying to pull a 1,000,000 pound slab of iron forever untill you let off the gas, it will not climb anymore in rpms untill you either let off the gas slow down a bit and then just stay under 3800.. it will however go above 3800 if you climb rpms so damn slow you barely notice it. and once it takes forever to go above 3800 rpms you have to continue climbing very very slow, if you try to give it any more gas or throttle it does it. best way to describe it, it kinda sounds like the car is running on one rotor, very lopey, but not spiining slow enough to actually be running on one rotor. the engine sort of changes pitch i guess... it sounds deeper. like when your driving and let off the gas while still in gear to slow down withought using the brakes. thats kind of what it sounds like when i hit 3800.
i got some old injectors laying around, 2 of em, there so nasty looking i doubt they will even work. ill swap those out with brand new ones and see what happens, thats the only thing i didnt think of checking becuase there brand spanking new. if thats the problem im suing advanced haha. all this headache and trouble. they need to come out with an "advanced rx7" or "rx7 zone" or "o'rielly rx7 parts" or soemthing...

go back to vatozone or non=advanced parts and bitch slap those ho's for selling you the wrong size injectors.
seriously, do the things these guys recommend, they DO KNOW what they are talking about. luckily I never got as frustrated as you, I just blew up my engine due to my idiocity.
