RE: high rpms?
It should tell you in your owners manual. This is what mine says for a 2003.
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best
fuel economy)
Shift from:
1 - 2 18 km/h (11 mph)
2 - 3 31 km/h (19 mph)
3 - 4 48 km/h (30 mph)
4 - 5 64 km/h (40 mph)

I wouldn't recommend driving around at 19,000 RPMS dude. You should get your rear end checked out to. I think you might have 7.90s installed.

Shift to 2 at 20, 3 at 30, 4 at 40, 5 at 50.
I don't think I'd go 35 in 5th....
