When I took my 98 formula to the Dyno bone stock it peaked at 5500. When I ran to 6000 it just dropped. I recommend 5500 until you do something to it to make it make power past 5500. Best way to know for sure is to go to the dyno and check it out. Rev limiter is going to stop you at 6000-6200 anyways.

Shifting around 6 will put the next gear into more power. 5500 is slightly too early.

What he said. It's not like you hit a brick wall at 5500 rpm. Power does start to taper off, but there is more power available in the next gear if you shift it near or at the redline.:drivin:
