This is true, the Stage 2 cam raises hp the most in the upper RPM ranges.  Point is if you shift where the extra power is, then you get the extra power acting over each gear range.  You go quicker, a lot quicker.

Yes, you have to change how you ride the bike -- you have to become a wicker.  This has consequences for choice of oil, maintenance frequency, durability etc etc.

If you want "more" and you don't want to change anything about how you ride the bike, consider a Stage 1 cam or maybe simply doing the rest of the uncork mods and leaving the cam completely alone.

Stage 2 cam makes you change how you ride the bike (UR a full bore wicker now)
