Can it get above that RPM? Check/clean your grounds.

Engine grounds. Sounds like the infamous 3800RPM hesitation.

oh no your screwed! you need a whole new motor man! yours is about to go out!
no, I'm kidding, it acctually happens quite often, but I'd also advise to check the grounds and battery connections maybe... it is probably something small but is not always easy to figure out

A ground is the "end" of a wire that is bolted to parts of the motor or frame of the car.
