why are you shifting between gears while your engine is rev'ing at 5,000 RPM?

Yes, 5k rpms sounds way to high between 2nd and 3rd gear gears! 3,500 maybe 4,000 rpms is ideal! My .02 cents.

HUH????

Look at HP/torgue curve on the engine. Lots of power over 4k

On the 3.2, HP peaks around 6200 rpm and torque around 4700 rpm with a stock motor

in any case, it should not matter what gear you up-shift from, they all should be good to 7000
