It falls off a little but still makes as much at 7k as it does at 5.5k, probably 5k if it didn't have that funny dip.. Ya, I have a cam sitting there just waiting to go in. Smaller turbos do make more torque way down low but how many times have you needed all that torque at 3k? It's like prefering a Harley and it's low power output over an R1 just because of the bottom end torque.
