They came up with 8755 rpm. Not sure what calculator they used.
I ran an online calculator I found to figure out theoretical top speed and it was over 240 mph. I think I used a max rpm of 6,500 rpm and even with the 4.56 rear, the double overdrive (0.50 6th gear) sets it up for bonneville. I'd probably need 1,200+ hp to get THAT kind of speed out of this big brick so figured 160 mph was reasonable (if I was stupid enough to try to get going that fast).
