It all depends on the car. That drop in power may not be a cam issue, it may be in the tune.

Stock cams tend to peak around 5.5k. Pretty much all stock ls1s, even though some of the cams are slightly different. Not different enough to make a difference in peak hp rpm.

Now, depending on mods, it may carry out the power higher, but peak will always be at or near 5.5k rpm.

All posting here... without a dyno, you don't KNOW what it's doing. In perfect running condition, well tuned, and on the dyno is the ONLY place you'll get data that means anything. "It feels like it pulls strong up to..." is MEANINGLESS.
