Bonus question:

Do I get it right that my "sweet spot" for shifting up should be between 5.5k and 6k RPM?

Based on your torque curve I would use a shift point of 6K. Torque begins to fall off after that. Run to redline only when you need to extend a gear and avoid a shift approaching a corner. YMMV
