Hwy speed for cummins conversion truck

Does any one have a idea what i should exspect for a stock 90 cummins
with a blue bird 5.9 bus 190HP pump . NV 4500 5 spd trans .

4:11s 35" tires .

The truck acts really low geared .

I have not really nailed the go pedal so im not shure if its really turning all that fast , but she did make 20 + lbs of boost though a littel though when i goosed it a bit .

This was around 60 to 65 mph

Does any one have a gear vendors to fit a NV 4500 ?
