For some reason, the '87 runs out of breath up there..........need to see what that's all about.

Just wonderin. I try and most of the time shift at 3K and my 0-60 averages 15-17 secs and from what I read on this thread, RPMs beyond 3500 are not beneficial to gain more HP due to the curve drop. So I thought yours can do 10-12 secs at rpms below 3K.
