an off the wall suggestion ...

could the air filter be reaching a limit at 5200 and choking the engine?

Plug wires breaking down at that load?

Did it run rough when it ran out of puff ? Off the top of my head I'd have said valve float would cause erratic running.

I'd put a vote in for the rev limiter chip being off and shutting it down early.
