I can only assume that it would be the same since RPM is RPM, no matter what gear you are in (engine RPM).
I hadn't noticed but that is backwards. It was 5740, not 5470, when I first had my car at Jakes for a tune. I think I posted once before and made the same error. I'm olt' OK.
Frankly running up thru the gears the engine would likely pass the 5740 rpm limiter and reach 6100. It would stay there because of the vehicle's inertia unless you actually hit the limiter, shutting the engine down.
It is a weird and scary feeling when that happens. For sure
