If it's a 7AT with the stock rear end and stock ECU (well, and stock tire diameter), it cannot make the redline in 5th gear, it's just a mathematical fact of the gearing + speed limiter. Check your setup using the numbers from the service manual here if you've changed the rear end ratio or the tire size: http://www.f-body.org/gears/. I've tried it myself on the dyno and hit the limit.
