Also on my set up is that my tires are 30" in diameter. I feel like i will be doing very high revs on the highway, (calculated 2700-3500 on various sites) so i want to get away from the 3 speed and go for something that will theoretically give me a little bit better revs on the highway. What is the most recommended transmission that I buy? I am thinking a 700R4 but I've heard otherwise. Basically, I dont want to wreck my engine by sitting at higher revs for extended periods of time.

Thanks in advance!
That's about the most coherent, concise and sensible early post I've seen.
I think the 700 is a close fit, but I like a manual trans.
