I don't want to have to air it up too high to drive, at highway speeds...
I'm sticking with stock TA and stock spring location.
Just wanted to make sure 8's weren't too much.

Depends on where your ride height is.
My 68 had the larger Stones in back w/1.5" blocks. Using the bolt in style c-notches, my rear end @ ride height was .75" into the frame which required 30psi in the bags. This was a little too soft (bouncy) for my taste. So ..... during my suspension re-vamp I switched to a smaller diameter bag which would theoretically require more air @ the same height & eliminate that 'bouncy' ride I noticed w/o adding any more height.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
