This. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast. However, somewhere in here you mentioned taking 5-10 seconds to shift gear. Don't do it that slowly. Clutch in, shift, clutch out smoothly. That shouldn't take more than a second or two. It sounds like you're lugging the engine a little too. Try taking it up to 4k or 4500 rpm before you shift. It's easier, and it's not good to be too low in the rpm range. It's not a LS1. Also, be in the gear you want to be in before you enter the turn. Shift during braking before you turn the wheel. The best thing would be to get some instruction from a professional. There's tracks near you that have HPDEs and instructors. The couple hundred bucks spent is well worth it.
