A 26" tire would basically give me 118-119 MPH at 7200 RPM redline

I think a 26" tire height is my best bet for the power level I will have my car at for a long while before boost. I should never trap more than 118-119 if I'm around 420-430 rwhp (after E85 conversion and maybe a TB). Right?
You will want to give yourself a little cushion. Peak power with the stock intake is going to be around 6,500. 118 with a 27" tire and 3.55 is ~6,900.
