Default how fast

How fast do most races you guys take part in go up to? i could get some 4.11 gears, or some 3.80. but with the 4.11 my top speed will be 99.8 mph. not that i really need to go that fast ever, but it is fun everyonce in a while. so, from a dig how what speed do u normally cut it off?

Most of my races, when I do have them, I usually let off at about 70-80mph. Dont need to go any faster except at the track and maybe the interstate.
