Icon2 Normal highway rpm

I tried looking around the forums but really couldnt find anything. This is my frist honda(96 coupe) with a b18b swap. On the interstate im doing 70 at about 4k is that normal? It feels like im pushing the car to much at that rpm, maybe im just not use to a car with a mod like that. Any info would be great.

my car with the B16 transmission cruises around 4200 at 70. Yours sounds about right, I think.
