Need an idea of where I will run out of gear in 4th
24.5 slicks, 98 USDM ITR tranny. I have rev limit at 8500 but could probably go higher with my built head. I tried calculators and wondered if anyone has real world experience with this set up

I dont see why if ur head is built 9200 shouldnt be an issue, but another thing u can do is up ur tire size nxt time u buy some to 25x9 M&H

Assuming i have the right gear ratios (1.107 & 4.4??), you should theoretically get 127.3 mph at 8500, and 134.8 mph at 9k, obviously this can vary slightly based on actual circumference of the slicks.

At this point I think I need a GSR or LS tranny. The car should trap high in the 130's or low 140's

Just rev it higher! Don't be skurred! 
If it was still climbing at 8500, I'd bet it will still climb to 9000+.
Stock "R" cams, right?

Your going to hate that LS gearing... Your 2-3 will drop hard and your 3-4 will prob be at 1000'.... I ran LS gearing with your power and a much higher redline and it still sucked.
