Rev Limitor at 4500 RPM
I've just got my 1999 Acura CL V6 and noticed that it "redlines" at 4500 RPM. The guage will not go any further. I do notice that the VTec kicks in at around 3000 RPM. Is it normal to discontinue increasing RPMs after 4500RPM.
I have a K&N air filter (drop in) and have reset the ECU seeing if that is the problem. Are there any suggestions.

Last oil change was at 66000 miles. I have not changed the tranny fluids yet, that will be at the next oil change. I tried resetting the ECU as a wild shot on the problem. It made no difference.
It has 67500 miles on the car right now. We usually have the local firestone do the oil and tires. Should I take it to the dealer and have them look at it. It is an ORR acura in Shreveport, LA.
What other information would you like?
