Aren't you supposed to change gear in the dotted red rather then solid red?
Anyway, still fast - temperature increased slightly too.

standard? your kidding me...
what's the standard limit on XE's? ???? they usually make peak power around 5500-6000! That was pulling hard to 7k!!
that seemed like it had a raised limit!

looking in your garage it also looks like a power cap and a non standard 4-1 manifold.
