Not sure if I'm interpreting you correctly, but a shorter FD will not keep the revs higher. Gear spacing is the same - regardless of your FD, shift from 2-3 at redline will drop your revs to the same point in the rev band. FD will help you get through the torque dip a bit quicker though when starting from low RPMs.

Our torque band is slightly stronger above the dip, but you're right it's pretty flat aside from the 'dip'. But you still have to get it above the torque dip and keep it there (5k and up). Are we talking about modded cars or stock? Yup a decently designed header will help greatly or eliminate the torque dip, effectively giving the car a much more useable torque curve - probably would benefit AT cars even more than MT cars.
