Out of curiosity what year firebird? Because I have a buddy w/ a stock 1994 V6 AutoCamero and I beat him when side by side on a highway. I also beat my other buddy who had astock V6 Manual 2004 Mustang.

i was able to waste my mother-in-laws 94 6cyl. camaro straight of the line....and my father-in-laws 85 camaro with a 305...i think i actually had that one better then the 94

you sure you didnt hit a different gear????
if you were at 5800 then after you shifted you should of been at about 4500-4800....
