At 7500 rpm in 4th I would be doing around 115 mph. At 6000 in 5th about 120 
mph.

The thing has good power all the way through the gears until I get to 
6000 rpm in 5th where it just stays at around 120 mph.

The only thing I changed was the muffler. From a Supertrapp glasspack 
to a Dynomax Super Turbo. I have the same tranny, wheel/tire 
combination and the same fuel injection system. I now have more power 
so I should be able to get up to the same top speed at least.
