Default @ what point does a t3 run out of puff?

I have a "stage 2" 2wd saff and it has a fairly recently rebuilt t3 and when driving it has plenty of pull but i've recently noticed that all the puff is gone around the 5000rpm mark is this about right or is it time for a t35?
it's the same in every gear but i haven't really booted it for ages so can't remember if it always done this?
Cheers
Martin

Cheers Tiff,
What would be the diffrence if i put a t34 on over the t3?
Earlier boost? or does the boost move up the rev range

That is a good price from PJ

Like Tim said, if you have the money, go for the GT series but i think they start about 1k
