well maybe thats a sign of how much my tranny sucks i mean it doesnt feellike its struggling at that rpm and i can barely touch the pedal when cruising to maintain speed. i will try to video it for you guys but i know it is definetly in 4th gear not 3rd. does the column shift have different OD gearing?

Assuming you have a 5th gen Monte, you sure your speedo or tach aren't off? I've never had rpms that low at those speeds.
