You'd need about 275 RWHP to the ground to break 100 mph in the 1/4 in a 3400 lb car. If you have less then you're not going to run out of gear before the end of the track.
I had 4.10's in my 305 TPI a few years back.
With the 700R4,I was hitting almost 5500 RPM in third gear at the end of the 1/4 mile.If I can remember right,I was hitting a little over 90mph at the finish line.
I dropped down to a set of 3.73's and ran faster.
Hope this helps,
