When you go over geared the converter will act tighter. That may be the downfall instead of too much ratio.
Why do you want to cross the 1/8 at 8,000 RPM with an engine that make peak power 700 RPM below that?
I would think something in the 7500 range might work, but I don't see your dyno sheets like you..
5.40 ish Maybe?.= 1360
