Yes you will most definitely make it through the traps if you're shifting at 6400 rpms... If you're redline is at 6400, that would be around 121mph at the end of 4th. So unless you're trapping higher than that, I wouldn't worry about it. If you are trapping higher, you need a taller tire (like say 28") and/or increase shift points a couple hundred rpms.
