But people are saying you can go even higher than that in first gear (5k+ RPM), so that is ok to do and wont damage anything?
Should i worry about what MPH im at when shifting through each gear or is it all about RPM? I assume there a max MPH for each gear that i should stay below?

I think you should first learn what RPM means & what it does to the pistons/rings & all moving engine parts. Then get some cool sounding mufflers & enjoy yourself for the rest of your engine's life, which should be apx. 25k miles.
