Hajime - just out of curiosity, what is your 5th gear ratio and your final drive ratio? That is probably the root of the issue. In many of the current 5 speed aftermarket transmissions like the Tremec TKO, 5th gear is a highway cruising gear and not meant for acceleration. Perhaps you need to downshift to 4th when stronger acceleration is required.

Pete Munroe and hajime like this.
