I have been looking inside the tune files, and what I have seen so far of most dyno plots is that when the power is "dying" up top it is the same rpm range as the soft rev limiter i.e. the ignition timing table has timing retard from 7000-7400 rpm. So even if the engine has medium good volumetric efficiency at 7000-8000 rpm it would be a good place to make decent power gains. The valves and ports are bigger than normal for the rev range from what i have read so far.

Another reason for me wanting a slightly higher rev limit is to avoid shifting to 3rd in some of the faster autocross courses, and to avoid shifting to 5th at turn 16 and the start/finish straight at PittRace.
