Tranny recommneds (gearing for a Soob)

One for you Kevin Zagar please and all welcome to throw in what you want. On another thread Kevin, you advised at least a pro street tranny for a Soob conversion as the stocker won't last long. I'm running a stocker now and would like to upgrade and get more suitable gearing while I'm at it. My tires are 155 80 15's which are just under 25" in diameter. You recommend highway rpm should be about 2,200 rpm. One torque curve I found for a NA EJ22 shows about 88% of torque is in at 1500 rpm and 93% at 2200 rpm. If I like to cruise the highway at 65-70, what gear set would you recommend, pls?
