Yes, it makes sense that the PSI would drop as RPMs rise. Unless the compressor is increasing speed as well, but then having as much boost as you can at any point is better than reducing it in the middle just to make the top look better.
Nice to see it moving forward
I've often looked at this trend and imagined being able to achieve a max boost level that was too high from launch, to just over midrange rpm so that the excess could then be parsed in to sustain a long flat power peak as the excess boost became appropriate/safe to apply with the increasing and less efficient rpm region where boost would normally start to drop off, in an effort to give acceleration an infinite feeling of power.
I'm hoping the new outfit from Castle that Alex ordered will out perform the 2028 results that he recently demonstrated, if it does I'll be putting in my order. I thought the TP power 12Kw, 85k rpm motor geared down for torque multiplication while still able to maintain good relative compressor speeds would have been a more productive performer with the benefit of the torque multiplication added to its high rpm, but at $400 and approximately a month long wait compared to the Castle outfit, maybe not.
Here's a great video on a very doable car alternator mod that yielded 90 volts and a max current of 100 amps that I believe will inspire everyone intent on having an onboard battery charging system.
I just read through this whole thread and really like what I am seeing/reading. Thank you for sharing and thanks to all that replied.
I do have a question for Brettus8, what elevation are you at when doing this testing? I guess most specifically where you had the car on the dyno.

Hamilton NZ which is at 40m above sea level.
