Default b16b Trans Question(highway gear)

i need something that doesn't rev high on the highway, just wondering if the B16B trans is good for this, or is there another transmission gear i should get? i was thinking of getting vitara's but i need the highway gear to be in the low revving range (like 3500RPM for a comfortable drive hense it'll be there for about 2.5ish hours/day.
BTW engine b20 block b18c1 head with JRSC

Hmm, maybe i'll look at getting the ls gear then. but will the ls gear be okay if the transmission has LSD? haven't bought the transmission yet but i seen one that i might buy today online.
BTW i thought Vitara made transmission gears?

it shouldnt really be. Although it would prematurely wear down the motor and/or oil. But other than that no. And no Vitara is a car, its a Suzuki Vitara.
