That is right around where it should be. Nothing is wrong a GSR transmission is really short, which is why it is good from acceleration. If you want something that is better for highway travel with longer gears get a LS transmission.

what kind of gas mileage to do you get running 4k at 70?

i get about 30mpg if i cruise around 70mph.

70 mph in 5th gear yielding 4000 grand is about right with your transmission...Do not waste your time getting a new transmission! Just change your 5th gear to an LS gear...The LS 5th is longer so your rpm's will not be as high and you will still have the the low gears (1-4) for acceleration.
