03 civic is high rpm

When I am going 70 in fifth gear I'm at ~3600 rpm.
Is this normal for the 2.0 k20 vtech? Would it be gear ratio??

Normal.

FYI there is no "H" in VTEC.

Yes my ep3 is the same because of the short gear ratio, even with a type r transmission swap the rpm will still be over 3000 when doing 70 in 6th gear
