It doesn't mean you have delayed response, just means you don't have the torque the OP describes he wants.

You may want a refresher on what the stock torque curve looks like:
Looks to me the natural torque curve "kicks in" at 2500 RPM. I'm looking to shelf that up. We've seen good results with some boosted setups where the infamous 3500-4500 RPM torque dip can be tuned out.
We're going to have to agree to disagree that this engine is "high revving". My 2ZZ-GE revs to 8500 and my motorcycle revs to 13k. Those are engines that need downshifting to access their torque peaks.
