so this gets me thinking.... with a 3rd and 4th gear, im probably looking at 160-165mph possibly

hnestly, it is not likely to change too dramaticaly. land speed,much like a trap speed at the track, is more a reflection of your power to weight ratio than your gearing. there is some advantage to having the correct rear gear to use the entire power band as you come through the end of the course, but it is not the focal point that would lead to a huge jump in top speed.
