My question is, is that a good rpm to be at? Should I be higher or lower? Do I need to build the engine to perform at that rpm. I want to do this right the first time.

Where I live there are NO freeways, I would have to drive for 2 1/2 hours to get to an area that has a 65 mph speed zone. I don't drive much over 60, I hate those flashing lights in the rear view mirror.
