I calculate top speed as 160 mph in 5th with stock tire size. A 10% gearing advantage would make it 154 but he'll run out of road long before hitting that. The taller tire would work if it eliminated a gear change and he was able to hit the target in 4th. This works to my advantage on a couple of tracks I've run, can eliminate 3-4 extra up shifts a lap.
