I think you're right - the sport pressure plate makes a difference. BTW, in my car with a relatively stock motor (ITA doesn't allow for many mods), I shift around 6500 which is where the torque band starts to drop off. I don't mind shifting at 7200 rpms if I'm forced to but the extra rpms don't do much other than stress the components.
