Default 5th gear at the track

do you guys get tinto 5th gear at the track. the reason i ask is because i use to get to the end of 4th, now i have a new turbo setup and and my 4th gear tops out at about 120mph at 8200rpms, i did this on the street. anyways i know i'll just have to wait and see but, i really want to go ver 120mph.
