mike your speed is pretty close my 26 race with a 30 b blades 1.65 gear does 94.4 at 6500 that engine makes 715 hp.
my backup engine that is 615 hp same set up at 5500 goes 85 mph just to give you some comparsions these are real gps speeds not bs lots luck have fun.
also do you know how much power you are making.
