Default Just installed MTM A box.... breaking up @ top, what to do?

I just installed it today, it made a noticable difference but it breaks up on the top end of the rev.... looking for an experienced answer...
My mods: MTM 2nd gen box, catback, K&N.
Thanks!

mtm software is said to have monster torque but dies out on top end, just like apr version 3.3

5500 rpm, you're done. Buy a GIAC chip

What causes it to die... lack of fuel? (sorry I'm just learning about this car... was a rotary guy b4...)

It's a more conservative chip; just programmed to hold back boost up top, IIRC.

Default Torque drops significantly in all chipped S4s after 5500rpm...

the K03s just can't support the boost (airflow) levels. This is especially true of the MTM chip which is a bit more conservative w/boost levels up top than others like GIAC, although on my 2000 when I upped the timing advance of my MTM, it was pretty much as fast as the GIAC.

They choose to not push the K03's as much up high.

lack of turbo - these guys are small and give great torque down low, not HP up high
