Anyone drag race with higher gears in the rear end?

I'm looking for some ideas. My current setup is a 360, 904, 3000 stall converter and 3.55 gears with 26" street tire(17s/low profile tires). The problem is that the slip on the convertor makes highway driving kind of miserable. Its either revv out to 3000-3200rpm at 65mph or do 50-55 at a slightly less unpleasant 2800rpm. Which is kind of unlivable since i'm use to doing 80-90 in my DD.

So now i'm considering some options to alleviate the problem and gears seem like the best bandaid. Atleast until i can work out some sort of overdrive transmission.

Does anyone use like 3.08s/3.23s and still make good times at the track?
