It wouldn’t surprise me if there are valvetrain stability issues setting in with the motor at 5800rpm through the traps.

Using the butt dyno to diag that situation can be tough.

If your perception is that the motor feels really strong well past 6k in 2nd gear, you might be okay........ but a few pulls on a chassis dyno could reveal something.
