I totally understand where he is coming from and his logic is not wrong. I think if he was on to something then he would have received a lot of comments supporting that setup. What I have seen mostly is just what you have done in moving the rev limiter up to 7500 or 8k. Some even run 4:08 gears which means lower mph per gear but you won't have to short shift. I am actually going to 3:3 gears, using an auto rear end to make gears taller to compensate for the smaller wheel and tire diameter. The results equate to higher mph per gear and the net result is the same as running 3:69 gearing.
