What is the rpms you are getting at 70?
You are probably going want to know your gear ratio for the rear end. Maybe stick some lower ratio gears in there for the freeway of course doing this you'll notice it a little more doggy on the bottom end.
but I'm guessing you aren't worried about the hole shot off the line with this ride.
