As for the converter, my guess is that the company does not want to sell a converter that stalls higher than highway cruise rpm, to not have any complaints. You may have to spend more $$$ for a better converter with a higher stall than cruise rpm's.
Also, you stated that at 80 mph, your tach reads 3000 rpm's. I would think the engine would be at 2600-2700. I think your tach may be incorrect. Try this calculator:

Reply from Mike : When I am not in overdrive with the Gear vendors the car cruses at 500 rpm lower , then I turn on the Auto switch and press the button on the shifter and overdrive or forth gear goes from about 2500 to 3000 rpm .
