I'm pretty sure your gear ratios are a lot shorter than mine, meaning higher revs. That means I can't give you any speed/gear advice, just rpm.

Your engine is also higher power than mine, but down low where we drive every day I don't think it's much more. Most of the extra output at 4000+ rpm. You could probably go a little lower than 1500 with that in mind.
