Under normal driving conditions, I like to keep it between 3 & 4 k RPM's. Does this sound about right?

Your peak HP is generated about 6800-7200 rpm.
At first, it will feel like you really need to shift, but you will get used to the revs.
Fir starters, try not to shift up until 5000.
It is an adjustment
