Default weird rpms while driving

hey guys i cant figure this out. when im driving on the freeway in 5th gear my cars rpms are like 2500 or something, but it will jump to 2800 for like a second or down to 2200 but my foot will be steady so i KNOW that its not me. it only does this sometimes and only on the freeway...any help would be great,
as far as mods go, greddy intake, megan header, skunk2 exhuast. if that helps

P.S. shoutout to everyone in the seattle area

a new distributor is like $200 is there a way to CHECK it, what about the tps sensor, can you check that? i mean my car still runs great and gets 40+ mpg im just a perfectionist so the weird rpms bother me
