(b/c the higher the revs, the less time there is for the cylinder to fill with the right amount of air before the valve closes). As I'm just speculating, that's only my off-the-cuff WAG.

Btw, @jamesm, welcome back .
I don't recall seeing this behavior with the stock roms. It's been a while since I've seen a stock car, though. Next time I have one in for a tune I'll be sure to take note of it.
