Default my car cant hit 7200rpm

i have a 94 civic eg coupe and i cant even come close to redlining it at 7200rpm.. it only goes up to 6200rpm then my redline bounces ... what could i do to fix that problem... i've done everything i could to fix it but still it does the same thing.. i had a friend sayit might be my ecu cause i have a spoon chip in it but whwen i ran his ecu the p28 still does the same thing... could it be the wiring or something else.. if you can help hit me up that would be great...

I bet it's just that your tach isn't reading correctly.

my tach is reading perfectly fine.. my tach and my friends tach is the same ... my ecu redlines in his coupe at 7200rpm but when i put it in mines it goes up to 6200 rmp only... i can also still feel more power when my redline bounces... i dont even get my top end pwer.. by the time my v-tech opens at 5500 i'm getting ready to shift already at 6000-6200 rpm.... what could the problem be then..

.. by the time my v-tech opens at 5500
your phone opens at 5500?





j/p. is the ecu throwing any codes? Which trim level is your coupe? dx, ex? what's the engine code?
