The other car is equipped very similarly. Same exhaust, comparable intakes, etc.

The PPE's flattening out after 7300rpm is actually an intake manifold/throttle body restriction. (You can see the 'quenching' action this restriction has starting at ~6400rpm. A linear fall off of torque, that's what it looks like when you put a restrictor plate on an engine.)

I'll be addressing that eventually and then the top end will be even more dramatic.

Yeah the cost isn't worth it for a street car if you have to pay someone else to do it.
