I agreed that I would rarely get up in the higher range on the streets, but I would during track days and maybe even autocrosses.
So if it feels more powerful, sounds more powerful and dynoed more powerful, it's not more powerful?

From 5500 to 7000 you see a 12hp - 33hp increase on the way upto redline at the wheels. Thats a seriously good increase and you really will notice that.
Besides this is where you should be spending time while your fun driving anyway. And when you shift at 7000rpm what rpm do you think you land at? Prob around 5800-6000 in your next gear, right in that sweet spot where your making more power. Guess what, you just blew the doors off the other Boxster S trying to keep up to you.
33whp extra at the top of the band will make for 2-3 car lenghts difference in a 1/4 mile, which is top of 3rd gear @ 105mph or so ish... If your car would run a 14.2ish in the 1/4 it should run a 13.7 or so now with that increase. I have been there done that on many cars and 33whp increase is descent for an all motor car and will really be noticed in times at the track.
