does the motor actually feels like its going at 4500 rpm ? Really if ur engine is going 4500 rpm u should atleast be doing 100+ mph in 5 gear on the highway , i think ur problem is somewere else. Even tho u used a different tac directly on the coil there could be a false reading being send from somewere else.

is the 2,000 rpm at idle when it's in neutral? As for the 4500 rpm at 60mph, in what gear do you have it?
Seriously, find someone with a dwell/tachometer or a more expensive timing light with tach and verify.

Can you see the IAC functioning? Key on engine off you should see it cycle. Same if you jumper the ALDL. It may be stuck open? check fuse.
