I'm a big fan of getting the leakdown down to as little as possible. So for an application like this, where the rpm is gonna be so low, say 3000 or less for most of it's life, I think if it was mine, I'd spring the cash and go one step better, and ask for the TP hone at or near, the engines intended running temperature.

But I think if it was mine, I'd drive the cylinder pressure up some, and swap to 2.94s (or less), and install an A999, with a slightly higher stall, say 2400, then delay the secondary opening some, and install a really big Vcan.
The point of all that is to decrease the hiway running rpm, increase fuel efficiency, break-even on the starter gear but slingshot off the line with the TC yet have it locked up at hiway Rs. The delayed secondary opening to prevent detonation, so you can better optimize the low-rpm timing, with that big can. And I like TQs for this job.
I like the 2.94/A999 for it's KD into second at 55 mph for passing; about 3250rpm, and it's, 65=less than 2400 in loc-up mode; this being about peak torque with the factory cam. That's my rationale, for this combo.
Oh, and I like to run hot. But rock-steady hot.So I run a cooling system sized in excess of what I need, and let the automatic thermostatic fan-clutch/7 blade hi-attack angle fan, regulate the maximum running temp, with the Stat running the minimum. So I run 205* at the stat house. And the fan-clutch freewheels on the hiway.
