However, you are already going fast and going faster means you don't obey any speed limits and you take too much risk to lose your car. This is not an AWD car and requires a lot of skill and risk to go really fast in anything than perfect tarmac. The only area I can think mid-torque improvement can help is on drag racing from stop.
I take mine to a race track (Phillip island, Australia) and there are at least 2 corners that rpm drops into the low to mid 4krpms.
