Sure no problem. gear for 100 mph at max rpm. Tire diameter X rpm of rear axle divided by 12. that give you feet per min.
60 mph = 5280 feet per min
100 mph = (feet per min X) cross multiply and divide
100 x 5280 = 528000
528000 divided by 60 = 8800 feet per min.
If your rear tire is 82" 's that is 6.83 feet per revolution.
8800ft divided by 6.83ft = 1288 rpm's for rear axle.
Max motor rpm = 11000 rpm divided by 1288 = over all ratio 8.5 to one. You can do that in second gear. Might have to slip your clutch a bit taking off.
