Stop talking about trap speed, or any drag race thing because you are not really using your powerband. You put your feet on the gas pedal, and get it to the shifting rpm, then shift. You will not have your engine reving at like 2.5k rpm.
Now I am not saying drag race sucks, but looking at those 10000000+whp Civics with those have big turbos, this is the thing Dave is saying. You want to hit that 1000000000whp within less that 1000 rpm at the top, or have the turbo fully boost up at a lower rpm and hold it for 4000rpm.
This is why things like vtec, vvt, vel, etc are with us now. When early technology like vtec is like having big cams at high rpms only, technologies like vvt makes new engines with no better power range, because it can adjust its cam to the best position.
Since SR's (well, the S13 SR) cannot do any of it, you can only choose a section of the rpm where you can maximize your power. And this is what Dave's talking about here.
