So in better air, you have to increase rpm more until the torque drops off to the 500 ft*lb value, hence higher stall speed.

Chris , I could give you an answer ,but I don't know how to explain it in technical terms.
It's kinda like, I know that Christina Hendricks works for me, but I can't put that in words either. LOL
It has to do with hydraulic pressure, generated centrifugally and the shear, or over -ride point.
Maybe we need an engineer to explain it. Rusty 3011?
