Looks like it has just levelled out there power wise, and the torque has just started to drop off at the same rate RPM is increasing, so next step would be for it to drop by more I would expect.

I doubt more rpm would equate to more BHP, but it would certainly equate to more useable area under the curve that would be great hauling you out of a bend without having to change gear etc.

Likewise though I dont know what RPM they are safe too, but I would be amazed if it wasnt at least 8K
