Dune buggy help!

I have a 1984 rotary that I installed in a dune buggy. Bolted it up to a three rip bus tranny with a Kennedy adapter plate. I am running a fitech efi on a 4 barrel carb intake and a distributor with a MSD Box for the leading spark plugs. My problem is it will not rev if you open more than quarter throttle, it just falls on it's face and shuts down. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work. Air fuel ratio is good, timing is right, fuel pressure is good, it has good hot spark. Compression is between 80-85 on all lobes. And runs fine at idle and quarter throttle till about 5-6 thousand where it runs out of steam. If anyone has any suggestions if would be greatly appreciated its my first rotary.

welcome to the forum. the consensus here is that those self learning efi setups don't work well on a rotary.
