I do not see any problem with him getting to 152.2mph I have had three different cars 2 GM 3800 to 112 Limiter and a ford 500 to 115. That was not hard the 3800 Grandprix would get to 86mph in 1/4 mi (~10hp over stock)and still have two gears to go.

Over all what will limit him is gearing and keeping it in a good TQ RPM. Yes power will be limiting but what can go faster (not quicker) 100hp w/ 180tq or 180hp w/ 100tq?
