Question 3.8L motor loses power (Need Help)

Car drives fine, but has less power than my Honda CRX DX! Something is amis. It makes a clacking noise that sounds like it is coming from somewhere near cylinder #6, but only from about 4k RPM and up.

Question

What year is your ride? Could it be a valve or a lifter?

without hearing it and being there to trouble shoot, i would guess that you may have a bad valve. by bad i mean slapping the piston or something. but like i said, i am guessing.
