Default Ford Racing 427

Hello, I'm looking for somebody that might have this combination or something close. I am very interested in purchasing the Ford racing 427 with 535 hp. I already own a Tremmic five speed and have 350 gears that I do not want to change. The representative at Ford racing said to me that that motor is not happy cruising down the highway at less than 22 to 2500 rpm's. To me that is high. With all my gears and tires etc. I should be about 2100 RPMs doing 75 miles an hour. I guess that is fine. My question is anybody set up like this and how do you like the drivability? Do you need to be racing the engine RPMs down the highway to keep it happy? I don't mind loud and obnoxious I just don't want to be revving down the highway
Thanks
KM
