I think that is a realistic outcome for manual PE.
There is a connection between the pumped size and stretched flaccid length for people that have done PE for some time, an increase in either of those seems to indicate growth will be occurring.
For a person just starting PE, that difference between erect size and pumped or stretched size is large, but for people who have done PE for some time it seems to be smaller. In my case the stretched flaccid length and the erect length are very close, sometimes the same, and an increase to the stretched flaccid length seems to show up as an increase in erect length within a few months.
If I had to place a bet on whether or not you could reach 5.5” within a year and a half of consistent and not excessive PE, I would bet in favor of you reaching it. I think 1.2” of length gain is well within the normal range of progress for newbies.
I do think it would be easier and more likely that you reach that size within a year and a half using light pumping and light hanging though.
