Default RPM Shifting Question

So i had my GS for about 6 months. Truthfully i never looked down my rpm gauge to see what i was shifting at, because it is still smooth as silk. But i recently did look down, and it shifts at around 3k... is this normal.. i swore it felt did not shift that late when i first got it (used). It is all stock. It never passes 4k for sure for just street driving.. but yea.. any comments? Thanks.

the ecu adapts to your driving so if you first got the car and it would shift around 2k then thats how the previous owner drove it but you might have a heavier foot so it adapted to your driving and now shifts at 3k. This is normal and your car is fine. If you want to change this then you can reset your ecu.

Depends how much throttle you are giving it. If that is with very little throttle it is not normal. Also do you have your ect on or off?
Forgot to ask is it a 300 or 400?
