Default Tach jumps

Yesterday I'm in 5th gear and gave it gas and car ran SMOOTH, but noticed that the tach was jumping, only cel is p0420-has had this for months & Im sure its not the issue. I then noticed that it did this in almost any gear and did this around 4k rpm. Any ideas on this please.

I would fix the Check Engine light first...
P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
could be an exhaust leak..damaged O2 sensor...plugged catalytic converter...
