I'd guess 132-135

You might be right. Friday I cleared the 1/4 mile traps doing 5000 rpm at 112 MPH. That's about 45 rpm per mile of speed. I would need 1250 more rpm to make it to 140 mph if everything is linear. My engine pulls strong to 6400 rpm, so that leaves a max potential for 1400 more rpm. Throw in tranny parasitic loss at high rpm and wind resistance, 140 might be top and your 132 might be realistic.

set my sights on next year...
