You'll be limited by wind resistance before you hit the theoretical top speed. I see you're also looking at drive shafts and they have theoretical top critical rotation speeds too.

I would think that a stock rear gear would net you better high speeds

You will want to hit your goal in 3rd not OD or run a 28inch tire.

Shifting into OD @ WOT can't be done very many times, even in a built auto.

Really hope noone is taking their 4th gear to 6000+ cuz that transmission ain't lasting long.
