He also stated that if I choose a different transmission, he will upgrade my cam, so im not sure how much this will affect my highway driving revs.
When you upgrade the cam, that may mean that you need to think about your torque converter stall numbers. I put a fairly nice roller cam in mine and had to go to a 2300 stall to keep the truck where it would drive properly on the street. Get the combo built right the first time or spend a lot of time pulling things apart to get the parts changed to where it all works.
