Mine hit the limiter 
Then promptly went BANG CRASH WOLLOP
block was cracked
crank buckled
3 rods 'slightly' bent
cylinderhead was 'burnt' a groove though between cyls no 3 & 4... (was like 3mm deep...)
all in the name of fun

assuming 185/60R14 tires (1.82m per revolution)
3.74 final gives:
5000rpm 102.5mph
6000rpm 123.0mph
7000rpm 143.5mph
8000rpm 164.0mph
3.94 final gives
5000rpm 97.3mph
6000rpm 116.8mph
7000rpm 136.2mph
8000rpm 155.7mph
4.18 final gives
5000rpm 91.7mph
6000rpm 110.1mph
7000rpm 128.4mph
7750rpm 142.2mph (my rev limit)
8000rpm 146.8mph
Copied from another thread. it's very unlikely you'll have a 4.18, more a 3.94
Which is 126@6.5k I reckon down a hill that's possible
