A picture is better than 1000 words.
1- get a better intake pipe to the maf tube. I am surprised it even goes over 4K with that one on? It HAS to cause a lot of turbulance. It would be better to stick an universal AEM cone filter on the end of the red silicone coupler.
2- what is the sensor that is plugged into the a/w return line. Are you measuring those temps?
3- why did you mount your coils like that?
4- what is the black box next to your radiator overflow tank?
5- what is the box mounted on the firewall above the WW tank?

By the way --if you want to reduce engine bay temps --then get the S2 undertray. It has a spoiler under it that creates a low pressure area that helps to draw the heat out. Pretty sweet of mazda to do that.

Nice Car !!!!!!!
some answers :
1- I wanted to remove the air filter from the engine bay (to hot).
I'll remove it
2-yes this is for a temp gauge.
3-I get the Delco coils and theire is no room for them... and I didn't want to fix them on a metal plate...so that was a kind of solution...
4-the black box next to my coolant tank (overflow tank) is the vaccum box.
5-it's my oil filter + racing beat plate for gauges + magnet around the filter

Ok, those plugs are shot, they look very fouled out. Replace the leading ones at the least. Also you need to gap them, it looks like you opened the gap. Also, have you dropped any of the plugs? If so that can also be a problem.

Have you physically inspected your fuel pump? I've been reading since the post where Mazda Maniac suggested a problem, but I haven't seen if you've actually looked at it. If there is a loose, pinched, or cracked hose, it will limit how much fuel you can get, hence limit rpm.
I swear I think this is a physical problem with fuel delivery; the only other thing that makes any sense after trolling all over this forum for a problem like this is a problem with the ECU. I think it's your fuel pump, man.
