Ive been away awhile and was looking around for info on the Mamba MMM esc and saw your post.
I have some advice for you I was going to do this about a year ago with the XLB but decided the cost of electronics was to high at the time and my RC18B was fast enough for me at 93mph on 4s curently working on a 5s setup along with a 3s scalpel for speed cars.
Aero wise the buggy body is the best way to go it's a lot like an indy car with the buggy rear wing and adding a front wing it will allow you to control how much down force the car has and keep it on the ground at high speeds with the smallest frontal profile on the RC18 I tried a few full bodies and found they were all slower then the buggy body?
Tires? I would highly recomened Jaco foams for the Tmaxx they are the largest foam tire and wheel avalable for MT's and should work great on the XLB dont waste your time with glued beads they fail around 60mph beadlock wheels are much better at holding the bead on at high speeds.
Shocks? I found instead of using spacers under the pistons to lower the car using springs instead softens the top out of the shock and improves handling and stability at high speeds.
Chassis flex? The XLB needs a lot of help in this area pick it up and twist the front and rear of the car in oposit direction's for high speed stabilty you need to eliminate this flex.
Motor and ESC?
Duel 15 series Neu's with MMM ESC'c on 6s should be enough torque to get you to a 100mph plus?
Radio? check out the Worlds fastest RC thread for extending the range on your radio system.

Good luck I think a 100mph is very doable with the XLB. :)

Shooting for 100mph on it.....
The setup will consist of:
2 X Turnigy HV's
2 X 1527's
4 X 6S lipo's
I will keep this post up to date as I start to try to fit all this crap under the buggy body....lol
Still haven't figured out how to mount both 1527's on the single spur...but I will come up with something.....I think
