Maybe yours is really really off.
Mines off about 100 in one range and 350 in others.
And 6000 isn't "super late"

NO NO its not drive it off a cliff.
Or make sure it really is 6k, there are many variables that could be causeing late engagement, one being your runing type r cams with the wrong map.

sounds like could be timing.. did you fix the timing and tune it or anything when you put the cams in?
could prolly be solved with either fixing the timing.. or getting a vtec controller... vafc?
