If you have stock heads and a mild cam you won't really see 5800 rpm anyway. I have to kill mine to get 5000 rpm, it stops pulling at 4000. I think you are on the right track to richen up that carb. I would just tune the carb so it runs good and be happy with it. Lean carbs suck. FWIW I ran a Eddy 600 marine carb on a few of my vehicles and always said I would tune future carbs to those specs.
