This leaves a hole in the middle which they have been really aggressive in the tune in an attempt to minimise as much as possible.
It still makes no sense that they would have left the gap. The only thing that makes sense is emissions at say 50% of the max rpm which is 3,700rpm and they turned off the port injection to keep it super clean at the expense of some torque.
