Default What would be the top speed of a 4l80e with 4.88s and 31" wheels?

What exactly would my top speed be since now I'm runing a 4l80e with stock stall and 4.88 gears with a 30.4" dia wheel. 265/50/20s. 2wd. The engine is a lq9 6 liter with long tubes and intake. Ory 3" cat. Just got rid of my 4k stall converter. So I'm awaiting better mpg.

148.3 @ 6000rpm
150.8 @ 6100
153.3 @ 6200
155.7 @ 6300
158.2 @ 6400
160.7 @ 6500rpm


These are rough numbers if you were in 4th gear without converter slip and if you actually had the power to pull OD and a strong enough converter to handle that. Pushing those speeds in OD is asking allot.
