RPM question

Would anyone with a similar setup to what I have chime in and tell me how many RPM's your turning at 70 mph, and what gears you have.

Should there be a tag on the rear end(not one on mind), trying to figure out if someone changed the gears.

Thanks in advance

Oh another thing, I often drive by those police speed trap radar signs and the police sign says the exact speed that my speedo says, my speedometer is exactly correct.

Thanks for the help! When I was looking for a tag on the rear end I noticed a small leak, so it looks like I'll be finding out whats in there the hard way.
