Stupid question

Actually trying to shift before 5500, no need in turning past the power curve.

You would probably do better to at least leave it in 4th..if you had not shifted to 5th you may have bested my time.. ....though the dyno shows my truck still building power at 6000..

And what time was that????

Yep, that's your problem/ Although you are shifting at your peak remember that peak you saw was on a dyno and not real world engine loading. You need to max out every gear. If your limiter is at 5950-6000 like most shift at 5800 or so just before hitting the limiter. Hitting the limiter will slow you as it takes timing and fuel as well as skips cylinder firing. Push it to the limit and watch a few tenths add on.
