Narrow power band

Was doing some gravel drifting and had big problems with the narrow power band so just wondered if its normal for the starion to hit max boost at around 4000rpm+ and just keep going strong to 5500rpm ? Got an 2.5" exhaust intercooler and greenfilter no other mods..
Would like to have max boost at around 3000rpm ? any tips ?

Thanks Sigve

TC06 turbos are lazy, out with the old and in with the new :)

400hp at the wheels?
U got a lotta work ahead of you if your going twincam to make that power, and a fairly impossible challenge if ur attempting it from sohc.

If you got a turbo designed for a high hp 2.3l and wacked it onto a 2l stocker it'd perform worse than the stock tc-06

Nothing wrong with aiming high :) My head work guy says its possible, got some advance computer simulating program that calculates Hp and NM even in a graph like at the dynos... gonna run E85 fuel so there is some Hp to gain there... :)
