Feel free to chime in here... Motor diagnosis

Here is what I have:
2009 Teryx Sport

Here's my problem:
At approximately 6 to 7 thousand Rpms... I loose power, start backfiring, bog down and the motor misses.

Here's what I've done to fix:
Fuel pump pressure check, valve adjustment, and replaced the spark plugs.

Here's what I'm doing tomorrow: cleaning air filter (air filter was really clean already), and disconnecting ecu and checking electrical connections... Plug into ecu and see how it responds...

Does anyone have any further recommendations?

Thanks!

Josh, did you ever switch gas tanks with your brother or dad? How did TYG check the fuel pressure?

I'm gonna switch tanks with my dad tomorrow... And I checked my fuel pressure by unplugging the fuel hose before the throttle bodies and putting a fuel pressure gauge in the hose... Then turned on the fuel pump to see how much pressure was built up... It came up to 40psi... I just don't think I'm getting enough fuel at higher Rpms... I wonder if there is a way to measure the flow throughout all rpm ranges...

I would lean on fuel if your mapping was good before and you have not changed it.
