Look at the gearing on a Ford 4R70W.  It is a wide ratio automatic, but the gear ratios would provide the same tire rotation regardless of if it was auto or manual.

I have one of those in my Mustang.  It provides excellent acceleration from a stop, yet cruises at Highway speeds at about 2,800 RPMs with 26" tires and a 3:89 rear end.  Your tires probably have a smaller diameter, so you would end up a little higher RPMs.  IIRC, every inch of tire made about 200 RPM diff at 70 MPH.

 

There are calculators online that can provide you with expected RPMs at various speeds if you know your gears and tire diameter.
