Totally. You can pretty much say screw the engine's natural powerband. You can shape it however you like it by adjusting the spool characteristics. If you changed nothing over the old setup, the new one would feel lazy but as you mentioned, make it spool half a second quicker and it will more than make up for the loss in compression.
