Hi faigolfgti.
If the cam timing is optimised for your set up, altering it will make less power. I would recommend having the engine set up on a rolling road to make sure you are getting the most out of your engine. If the engine is at its best state of tune, you will need more power to make 6k rpm in 5th. (or a lower 5th ;))
Steve.
