Weird Noise after 5k rpm WOT (Video Included)
Ive driven other rx8s and i know the difference between valves opening and what i have. When i go WOT above 5k my car "screams". I have an aem intake and im suspecting the screens got caught in the throttle body but im wondering why it didnt throw a CEL. Im going to take it apart at some point this week and see.
The power above 5k feels very laggy. i will get a video for you guys. Its hard to describe. The pitch changes and almost sounds like dare i say vtech (not trolling)
Any thoughts of what it could be ??

Check your coil packs and ignition wires. I had a similar issue where my car would be high pitched about 5k, and stop pulling after 6k, but still go to redline. I think it was a loose wire. Check for misfires too or a dirty MAF

Mine happened before and after the install. Like it was still present after new plugs, coils, and wires. IDK how it's possible, but I think that ended up being my problem. I would just check all those things anyways to limit your sources.

Have you cleaned the fuel sock recently? Couldn't hurt to clean it for good measure--especially if you premix.
EDIT: Oh, (in left field here) check your starter. The "screaming" could be the sound of the starter chewing itself to bits and not disengaging.
