Default rpm level normal?

Ok, its me again. My question this time is about my rpm level. At 70mph, the rpm is about 2000. Is this normal? The car seems to run fine, but I just don't feel enough power at the higher speeds.

Please fill out your profile, it really helps us if you dont post specifics, like what year your vette is, what kind of tranny ect.

I'm assuming you have an auto4speed. but are you in D or OD?

Sorry, just filled out my profile.

My car is an 86 automatic, and I was on OD at 70mph.
