What are the criteria to the speed run? Drag race? Top speed? Ease of use?

I wanted a simple way to run 100mph, so I bought a hyper 8.5 with a 2650 in it. For normal running I gear for 50mph on 4s. If I want, I can throw on a big pinion and 6s and run 100. I don't need custom spools or crazy gearing setups to run 100mph. Isn't that fast enough?

A 2200 can achieve a higher overall top speed given enough room and wacky gearing, but they are out of sight by that time.

I can't wait to see some triple digit speeds fellas!
