4k rpm the sweet spot?

Why is the Box very happy at 4000-4500 rpm and 100 mph? The reasonance is perfect, the ride is smooth, and the engine almost feels twitchy and ready to go. Is seems like this is the sweet spot...kind of like the when you make contact with the golf ball and you can just tell you schwacked the hell out of it. Is it purposely geared this way, or does it have to do with cams...?
