So this is on a rolling road dyno right? In the real world it is the air that provies the resistance. Looks like you are right around 138 mph when the fuel cuts off....so I guess you put it in the real world and see how much wind resistance there is. Simplist way to adjust gearing a bit is tire height. Maybe take along an extra set of taller rear tires which would put the top speed at 145 or 150?
