LOL..yeah don't think you want to miss a gear. I say dump the clutch at 6000rpm hold on for dear life and get that 10 sec pass. I picked up a lot by launching at 5800 to 6000rpm, although the high launch is making up for the lack of gear right now :(, wait to I get that 33 spline spool and 4:30 or 4:56's.

Guys don't give the T-5 enough credit, now I won't say I haven't trashed this one a FEW times but they are strong and if built right can last to a lot of abuse. My last one lasted 4 years with lots of track abuse and it was also my daily driver. I don't have faith of it holding up to my 408 or 418ci monster next year though...
