You know, I am having a similar problem and was about to post something about it but decided to wait..
I have noticed that when I give it over 50% throttle (but not kickdown) it jumps up to 2400 rpm and just kinda stays there until the wheels catch up (from 20 or so to I forget what speed)
I didn't think that the torque converter should be slipping 800 rpm, and I never noticed this when I had "full power".
My last car didn't have a tach though, so maybe this is normal? Yours does seem too high, though.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has any input as well!
