So at 800 hp u are thinking 90 mph is possible if the handling issues are taken care of because roughly 75 hp looks to be worth roughly 5 mph in theory and 950 would push 100

It is not that linear with hp vs speed. When you get past about the 70-75mph mark, it will take maybe 100 hp more to gain the next 5 mph, then maybe 150hp for the next 5mp gain, etc
