What gear tops out at ~128mph?
I'm looking at my old dynojet graph and I can't recall what gear was used but I can see that it topped out at 128mph. I think it's 3rd. 6spd manual, fyi.

5th is our closest 1 to 1 but most dyno operators will dyno you in 4th and adjust for it. Top speed in 5 is 160ish which is really spinning the dyno unnecessarily fast.
My recent dyno pull was in 5th because it was late and we were all in a hurry to get out of there. With my raised rev limiter I spun the dyno to 162 which is not necessary. 4th would be just a good to get a smooth pull.
