Hmm....thought for sure you opted for the lower rearend gear.
If not, you would greatly benefit from moving the power band down.
5800 sounds like a perfect scenario, but remember that there's *nobody* on this forum that could tell the difference between whether an engine peaked at 5700 or 5800 (or probably +/- 200-300 rpm for that matter) in a 2500 lb car accelerating as hard as they do.
Keep in mind that engines just don't fall off when they pass peak horsepower rpm. They may lose 5, 10, or 15 horsepower, or maybe even hang on without losing. Again, that kind of loss in this kind of car is negligible.
My point is, it may be best to err on the side of being conservative.
