I think that the power beginning to drop is related to the valve system we use in our cars. The valve lifters doesn't work instantly and has a little delay caused by the mechanism. The lifters usually work with springs which isn't ideal mechanism, since the force it "transmits" is proportional to the extension. The delay prevents motor to suck air enough, which is directly proportional to the energy produced. Heh, just thinking, not sure
