Yep. Almost certainly somewhere along the line the bushings are toast and you're not getting full activation at the throttle even with your foot to the floor. You still get enough air to make full power in the mid-range but at higher rpm the throttle becomes a restriction.

Lots of good resources here if you search for throttle linkage bushings.
