Exclamation Why wont my car go?

Okay, my car has been acting odd for a while, i thought i fixed it with a fuel filter, but no, i was driving and went to pass a civic and in third gear at about 3750 rpm's it started knocking really loud and the car wouldnt go any faster, it acts like it isnt getting fuel or soemthing, im new to the rotaru thing so any help would be awsome, below are some of the things i have done to the car and replaced, maybe it will help someone let me know what is wrong with it.

Catco converter

At 3800, your car transitions from 2 injector to 4 injector operation. There is an issue here. Can you free rev above 3800?
