Theoretically it will be 180, but there are TONS of other factors to consider. Like Brick wall aerodynamics, real road horsepower etc. ...

...at @ 100 mph, you are probably going to go from WARP to WOBBLE!

do you really expect us to know what your top speed is? I dont think that setup would ever see 130+mph even in ideal wind/altitude/tuning conditions

 Take it easy on the truck, so you can get used it will be a lot different. They can and will get sideways even with an open differential on dry pavement. Wet pavement is just asking for it. I would rethink on setting the shift points sooo high with the transmission also. Running around and having to wind it up pretty tight 5500+ just so it will shift will get old and will give you more time to adjust to the truck again. That's just my impression though and trying to help you see what you may not see.
