i agree it shouldn't "run out" at 7,500 rpm ... but check the dyno graphs all over the forums, the power falls off even sooner than 7,500..

Sometimes real world physics trumps theoretical math :/

I don't know why, i'm not going to speculate with any amount of accuracy why but the graphs don't lie.

(bro science guess is parasitic loss through thermal dynamics, after all we are 12.5:1 compression and trying to boost in excess of 10psi [e85] or just under 10 [93]. Sorry I but a lowly internet know it all :P)
