Cams or Gears?

I chose the 3.90 gear because I do alot of freeway driving and at 70 to 80 MPH in OD I'm running about 2,600 RPM. That's about as high an RPM I would want to sustain for long periods of time and not decrease the life of my motor too much. But who am I trying to fool? I can't keep my foot out it. I really like the acceleration I've gotten on the freeway in 4th gear above 60 MPH.

it wont hurt the motor... and a 3.90 to a 4.10 is only about 150rpm


I have driven my car for 4 hour trips with cams a blower and 4.10s turning 3000rpm and has never missed a beat
