tx240ss is an unknown quantity at this point
its not just gearing at that point, mainly aerodynamics... wind is a bitch at those speeds. managing lift and drag and keeping it stable is tough. I had an old vette that would actually porpoise after 120... have to tape up all the seams, keep the nose down, right tire pressures, some downforce on the rear, clean the undercarriage with some sheet metal... lots of tricks to get them fast.
