So I've been out on the highway several times now.  I tend to keep up with traffic at 1500 to 2000rpm.  Around here people do about 80.  I'm concerned that that may be too low for the engine.  I hear no knocks or weird noises but it's hard to hear anything over the wind noise.  In the other gears, 1500rpm feels like the start of the power band so lugging is the concern.   I'm thinking I should gear it a little shorter to get into the 2000 to 2500 range.  What do y'all think.  The engine is 318ci, 9.5:1, cam 226 @ 50, 274 adv, 112 Separation, .295 lift.
