Shift much earlier than that and it feels like I'm lugging the engine. The thing really feels like it could use an extra gear between the two, though I hear 6-speed swaps are a thing. Maybe some day.
You could change out the factory rear gears. In those years it may have been something like 3.27. A 3.55 or 3.73 would pep things up. But there would be a fuel economy hit. I kind of like the longer 5th gear. In my 08 Bullitt on highway runs I would easily get high 20s. And that was with 3.73s. I'm not sure what gear my 95 has, but even that returns mid 20s with the old 5.0.
