318 wont rev above 5,300

The cam being "tapped out" doesn't have any effect on the engine "breaking up" (missing) at high rpm.

The weak valve springs that aren't matched to the cam are a problem, along with not having enough fuel and ignition to support that kind of power.

A stock ignition will survive 5500 rpm as well as a stock pump. Been there done that.

The springs are more than likely the same chinese **** as the cam so there too could be a problem.

It is still in his best interest to get rid of the 3.91 gear! TOOOO much gear for the turbo!
