Gear Ratio and RPM deciding on gears

yup 3 speed auto 904A when you say wound up I assume you mean too high revving right? Do you recall any speed/RPM's?
Well I don't have a tach to know rpm's but by ear engine seems to be up there in rpm's. But I don't drive too much on interstate. I could say it's livable but my exhaust also plays a role in how it feels/sounds.
