Rev characteristics - strain from 5,000 to 7500rpm in 1st gear

Do you guys notice when winding out 1st gear that the engine does not really pull smoothly to redline, its like you have to force it. Does anyone know why

Do you guys notice when winding out 1st gear that the engine does not really pull smoothly to redline, its like you have to force it. Does anyone know why this or if there is a remedy. Its not as apparent in 2nd or 3rd, but in 1st gear the car feels starved for air in the upper rev range.

Anyone else notice this? I don't wind it up much in 1st, but yeah....
