Each problem solved brings you one step closer! Looks like you have the the body, chassis, and brakes well in hand for 100 mph. After that you will be able increase engine output to get the acceleration you need. Years ago SAAB engineers arrived at the ideal figure of 36 lb/hp but you should be able to get along with less power using more gear ratios as do touring bicyclists. Supercharging a modified engine would be the ultimate power plant. Best wishes and ride safe.
