So do you want a powerband where the power is when you don't really need it, or a powerband where the power is there only when you want it?
There's plenty of DD guys here that would be happier with the 2-5k range, because they don't want to be screaming at 5k-7k just to get up to however fast traffic is going, or just want to be able to give it a bit more power without forcing the downshift. I understand this perfectly.

However, I would go centri, but like most have said in this thread, ultimately it is personal preference, and being happy with how you intend to use the car.
