Does anyone use boost up top to maintain tq to redline?

Assuming no detonation and that timing isn’t too advanced can we assume tq is a good representation of load on the rods, pistons, head gaskets, transmission...?

if so and your looking to get the most out of a given set of parts would it make sense to add boost in the upper rpms to maintain tq? Keep tq flat right up to your redline.

another way to ask the question is you have your typical tq curve and a flat boost curve and you want more power. Is it safer to add some boost everywhere or add more boost but just up top to get a flat tq line? Below is a pic of a couple of runs. Different boost levels so they are not comparable but the blue run shows what I am asking about. What if I let the boost creep up on the red run to hold tq at the peek level rather than letting it taper off?
