Horrible on Highway

Camaro RS 305 tbi 700R4 transmission

My stock Camaro was horrible in speeds on the highway.. It barely moved from about 65-100. It didnt want to go out of 2500 RPMS. Is third gear too long? Will changing the gears to 3.42's help it accelerate faster at higher speeds with shorter gears?

it doesn't sound like a tv cable problem. the tv cable is not a downshift cable. the 700r4 is not like the th350.
