Maxima RPM obervation

First off I want to thank those that gave me the RPM specs for their 2k2 Maximas at 70 mph(2500 rpm) 75(2750) and 80(2900). I know and will not deny that the 2k2 is much more powerful than any 2k1, yet in my 2k1 I had the exact same readouts on my RPM guage. Does anyone know why? I always thought that a more powerful engine could achieve higher speeds at a respectively lower RPM.
Please explain

sounds like you had an automagic before, am I wrong? If so that is why. I have a 2k 5spd and it is not close to those RPM numbers in 5th gear. In general the larger engines will work less, but it is all in the gearing...

the tach on the 2k2s is roughly ~500 rpms too high. redline will result at 7000rpms. that might be the cause of ur results.
