When you say it won't rev past 5317rpm's do you mean AT ALL like while driving

? Or are just sittin there revving the 5h!t out of the motor

? If it's while you're driving that's a major issue; if you're just "stoplight revving"... remember it's a Neon not a Honda, we don't rev to 10K bro sorry.

. But that would be the rev limiter kickin in so you don't blow your rods out the oil pan.

EDIT* I see you only have the I/H/E done w/ an UDP. There's NO need to go to a colder plug (only necesary for boost/nitrous!) so switch BACK to a standard NGK Vpower (BK6RE) copper plug and dump the Magnacore wires for either the stockers or go to Crane wires; (I could swear I told you Magnacores=FAIL in another post??? If not then now you know

). That may start pointing you in the right direction if your problem's mechanical. In stock form, the PCM limits revs to about 4500-5K rpm's if you're just sittin there revvin it out. An AF/X-R unit will raise that limit to 6500...and give you a 7800 redline though you can't get one since you have an '05.

Looking at what mods you have there should be no reason for the revs to be mechanically limited unless it's the plugs/wires combo from what I can tell.
Again, if it's stoplight revvin you're talking about, read the 1st paragraph above.

Intake or exhaust restriction? Is it running smoothly and just hits a wall?

Try turning off the AFC, or setting it to 0% and see what happens.
