I wouldn't worry too much how top speed is effected. Your top speed is higher than your 96 mph speed governor will allow you to achieve. Even with HPP3 set at H-rated (128mph) your top speed poential will be way above this. Your max potential speed is not attainable without more power and is complicated by aerodynamics.
