You're shifting too early. When I dyno'd my car the factory tach was off by almost 1,000 RPMs at the 6k mark. You'll need to play with your shift points to find the best ones, but don't be afraid to take that thing into the red-zone if you're looking at the factory tach. Next time at the track, do a run when you shift at 6k. Then on the next run shift at 6200.... etc, etc.
