With the speed that you are trying to get, you will need to sacrafice some of that to get less strain by gearing down. So in all, you will not get to the 50ish mark. You can drop your pinion size yes, but you'll lose speed. If you go 5s, you won't need to worry about it so much. But even hitting the 50ish mark with 5s is hard to do and have a reliable, efficient system that won't get hot. You could go 8xl with 5s and be pretty close though depending on the gearing.
