Your engine is not yet fully broken in. It only has been through the initial break-in and you are at a point between intial break-in and fully broken in. You still have a little more running in to do (like 4 tanks more I guess). Once you are fully broken in, you can lean for best performance & best lube (not too rich, not too lean). This is when the K5.9 will come to life, it will make its best torque at about 18000-25000RPM. This is the RPM range where you will flip the XL so easily.
