If I understand you correctly it sounds like your transmission is slipping...that's usually the culprit whenever your speed does not increase exponentially compared to your rpms (or clutch in a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission).

if its a auto you have to get the trans rebuilt or replaced so 2-5000.
if its a manual a clutch will probably be around 400 installed
