Default 5th gear power loss

my car pulls like hell through out the first 4 gears, when i shift into fifth it starts to loose power and the car that was gettin its ass kicked starts to catch up, kinda sucks, what could be the problem? maybe injectors? just had them cleaned, new fuel pump, fuel filter, and plugs

lol, 5th gear is a cruising gear thats why. not trying to say this in a bad way but your car probably doesnt have enough power to pull thru it

nah i mean i know its a cruzing gear but in 5th gear it will bog down a lot and i'll loose speed, i know its not a speed building gear cuz its overdrive, but it shouldnt be that bad, by the way i forgot to post what kinda car it is, its a 93 civic 1.6 vtec.

i dont think so,the cars got decent power nothin to high tech but its got full 2.75 exhaust, CAI, fresh tune up and with new wires,plugs,and whole new fuel system.
its also lowered to the max so drag is not the issue

What car are you refering to? All that's under your av is for an rx-7.
