I had my TA to 7K in 4th with 265/35/18's which accourding to the gear calculator is 154 and I had the T-tops out. I am sure I could have pulled 5th some but it wasn't the time or place for that.

I can't imagine going 140+. I have hit 138ish on the turnpike in PA and it was a scary thought. There is no where else to do those speeds. What type of roads to do you obtain those speeds

i wont give out names of roads, But really, as long as there's a 1 mile strip and 1/2 mile to slow down you can hit those speeds, especially if youre already traveling 65mph. there was this one back road near me that was 3 miles; straight & flat with no traffic at all. id practice my standing mile every now and then out there
