I used one of those Tire Height/MPH calculators and it said @6800 in 4th gear with a 3.70 would be 140-141 MPH on 26" tires. I don't know how accurate those calculators are but that's what I came up with.

3.70 will be a great gear for you with the 26" tires. HSESWS6 here has almost the exact same combo as you, but with 28" tires and he uses a 3.89 gear. if the gear is correct for the mechanical aspect of things and you are still experiencing cam lope issues with driveabilty, then maybe try to change your engine tune a bit in that area which should help.
