Considering the NA engine is a slug below 3000 RPM, I am not surprised you are not getting much performance.
Once warmed up, here are the shiftpoints I use when I am in a hurry (or just enjoying it).
1-2 6000RPM
2-3 6000RPM
3-4 6000RPM (Probably at an illegal speed at this point)
4-5 When I run out of nerve!
In short: Wind it out; Drive it like a high-reving DOHC I-4, not a low-end-grunting pushrod V-8.
