Usually 3-4k rpm. The 1970S liked to cruise at ~3.5k, shifts were 4.5 it really did not start to breath until 5k.
The 1972"RS" 3.2 wi carbs & S cams liked 4K would cruise at 3.2-3.5.

The 2003 996 likes 3.5k shifts but is happy light throttle cruising at ~2.5k. neither of the other two would put up with 2.5k cruising.
on the track for all it was/is 5-7k
