i got an auto, and ive done 150 with 4.10's.......
You've done 150 at WOT in an auto with 4.10s? With the stock tire circumference and AOD / AODE that would put you at 8,050 RPMs.

Cruising down a highway and slowly increasing your speed to 150 is a LOT different than racing or going WOT. At WOT it won't shift into OD. And chances are if you want 4.10s it's because you want faster acceleration...meaning that you are going to floor it and try to acceperate as fast as possible. You can force it into OD with a shift kit or other mods, but that's not a good idea and will quickly break the band.

But if you were able to hit 8,050 RPMs at WOT in an auto, I'd love to know how you managed to do it.
maybe it was in 4th gear? i know in my buddies 5 speed, we hit 155ish with 4.10s cause it actually makes OD useable

Rule #1: Dont listen to people who work in parts stores. There is a reason theyre in parts stores, and not working in shops actually building cars...
