Just bought a 2.3l ford ranger 5 speed, seems a little slow getting it up to 3K RPMS, wondering if thats normal or not but once it gets there its find it goes but really slow getting to 3k rpm

I don't know why it is taking it so long to get up to 3000 rpm, but from my experience the duratecs perform best in the 2500- 4000 rpm range.
