However, at the speeds I like to cruise at on the highway (when possible), I don't want the revs going any higher in 7th than they are now. 7AT really could use an 8th gear (or just taller transmission gearing in 6 and 7 both) for us high-speed cruisers

Did you type that backwards on the ratio = transmissions part?

A 3.357 would give a lower RPM...

That, and I thought the rear on the 7AT's had a higher ratio...
