Do you really do a lot of highway driving with the car though? Be honest... lol Honestly, it depends. I'm usually the one who takes a lot of back streets, but at the same time tend to get on the highway to cruise to zone out. Get away from the house for a while. So being honest, it's more of 50/50 for me. Now if I was back home in New Orleans, then it'll be a no brainer of just side streets lol.
"You killing me Petey" lol, but you may be right though. I wanted to keep everything Ford oriented. Meaning the only higher gears I see from Ford Racing are the 4.10s and 4.56s. Not too familiar with any of the others like Richmond, Motive or Yukon that stock the 4.30s.
You are aware that ford dosent make it,s own gears and it,s one of the 3 compagny mentionned that makes them  I actually didn't know that. Which one of the three are we talking about? I'll do that and call it a day.

IIRC richmond makes them for ford but what I have been told is that ford racing may change supplier once in a while and it may differ from time to time .

Found something else too, not sure if this on purpose or post to be universal, but I see that most of these gears are setup for 30 spline. Neither 28 or 31. Would that pose a problem? Cause all I'm finding that is listed for the 28 spline is 4.10s.

The ring and pinion itself has nothing to do with the spline count. The ring and pinion set will fit on either 28 or 31 spline. The spline count designation of 28 or 31 matters for the axles and carrier, as that is what it relates to and not the ring/pinion.

Gears can be put on any 8.8 diff regardless of the number of axle splines.

The spline count on the gears refers to the front of the pinion shaft, where the driveshaft hub attaches...nothing to do with axle splines.

I hope you're right since I'm shooting for 7k with my N/A build. Driveline RPMs and engine RPMs are 2 different things. Driveshaft RPMs are determined by rear end gears and tire size. I can't remember what gears you have Junior, but I'd say you'd be fine with say..4.10s provided it doesn't see extended periods of time over 100mph. Stock CVPIs with 3.55 were typically limited to 120-130 mph.
