This is the forum troubleshooting forum, your question goes in
Engine and Exhaust or
Technical and Modifications.
But to answer your question, 2400 at 65 is normal, and at 80, it'll be virtually 3000 rpm. I have an auto roadster and a stick -there is not a dime's worth of difference in the engine speeds between them in top gear at 65 or 80.
