gearing vs mpg

i never even thought of this before for my 5 speed swap...im running the same purple shaft 284 duration/ 484 lift cam in my 340, and in 5th gear i was planning to cruise at 65mph at 2100 rpm (with 3.91 gears and 28 inch tall tire)...from what i understand, the overdrive will be useless here because my cam isnt in its power range and thus still sucking back lots of gas in order to constantly cruise at that rpm?

Where's the problem? You just need to drive faster when you're in high gear. :toothy10:
