higher rpm often means lower manifold pressure if not at wide open throttle.
My 87 900T runs about 85 at 4K rpm, hits rpm cutoff 6200rpm around 130 estimated because the speedo only goes to 125.
I've noticed the engine isn't the noisiest thing at 100mph...wind noise and tire noise overcomes the engine. Car is noisiest around 55 (duh...I knew there was something so wrong about that speed!) and quiets down around 85. I'm using a 3" catback stainless steel pipe/muffler/tailpipe from TME.
