I've seen 155 on the clocks through France on standard gearing, and was getting it upto 130 on the back straight at Snetterton with the 14/40 combo .... and another gear to go! We decided that as this was probably the longest straight you'd do on a trackday in the UK, it was probably still overgeared.

So I wouldn't worry about losing too much top end!
