i have an AP1 with exhaust and intake. When i accelerate, it pulls nice and hard, vtec engages normal and you can feel/hear it. But around 8k you can start to feel the power fade away...its totally pointless to even rev all the way to 9,000.
What do you think it could be? i have raced a stock AP1 and im a tad faster, just up top it feels weak...
I have yet to change my spark plugs so im hoping thats it, can i just go to autozone/advanced/o' reileys and ask for the OEM NGK's or should i get a specific plug?

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Why not go to the dealer and buy a new one?
(Just a hint here, this car doesn't even have a fuel filter....)

Majestic Honda Parts Diagram (Fuel Tank)
(...another hint, it's in the gas tank, just like a Lexus IS300 and a few other cars. It's NOT the "fuel screen", or the "fuel pump". It's an actual filter...)
OEM P/N: 16010S84A01
The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below the specified value (320 - 370 kPa, 3.3 - 3.8 kgf/sq.cm, 47 - 54 psi ) with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched) after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.

hahahaha just replace the flywheel with a 8lb fidanza and that shit will rev so quixk you'll hit 9k like me and not evne think about the 600rpm dif. shit goes to quick for me. with this flywheel it's nice because it's nice in traffic but still moves like a banshee

just as an update, i changed my plugs with OEM NGK Laser Platinum and gapped them to around .44/.45 and changed the PCV valve and wooooooooooo its a ton better
it pulls harder now (at least to 8,500) and doesnt feel AS weak up to 9,000
definatly not all in my head, it improved it, im positive.

i dont know why u gapped the plugs bc ur not suppose to gap the oem ones...it has a fine tip that you'll just screw up. It says it on the box. And the only other plug that would be better is the new pulse plugs they have out
