Are you sure that your valve springs have enough seat pressure?
It's a possibility that your valve springs are flatening out after 5,000 RPM's.
Just a suggestion or thought.

I am not sure of that, but I did install Comp 918 springs. Is there a way to check the seat pressure on the vehicle?

Your IAT sensor should be moved to after the S/C. That should help drastically!

That is one of my next little projects.

Thanks you everyone for your help!

Mine runs about 5 psi until about 4500, going up to 6 psi. Power keeps going up until it shifts. If I could find a cable to hook my seat-of-the-pants dyno to my laptop, the graph of the power would show a steady increase to about 4500, then a sharp increase to redline.
