Gears behavior

I have two points:

1) the 4th gear is not powerfull!!!! did you notice this guys on 3.0??? the third gear hands over to the 4th on 125-140km/h depending on the road condition, so if you are on flat road, at 125-130 the 4th gear doesn't pull you as it should... the power re-appears again at 145-150!! so that's 20km/h of reduced power... bad engineering? and if you are going uphill, at 135-140 the 4th gear comes in and that's it, no more acceleration!!!! I just lack the power to increase my speed beyond 140 going uphill stretches...

2) My first gear is not reaching more than 6000rpm, while the second reaches the red, and the third gets really inside the red... why is that? how can i make the 1st gear hold more? I did the reset thing and waiting for it to adapt again, and i think it is getting better, because it was not even reaching 6000!! it would go to the second at 5800... of course i am talking in sport mode... it happened after the dealer updated my engine software...
