Will it take another 100 HP in a 2 mile stretch?

No one can say accurately what it would require at this point. If you watch the video I linked above, 5th gear hits the rev limiter at 6500ish and the speed is about 175 MPH. Shifting to 6th and the RPM drops to 4200ish and is way too low to continue pulling. To make the engine twist 6th gear with authority, it would probably take several hundred more HP to do so.
I wonder how viable switching the gearing to a ZL1 1LE setup is? This is only if you're ever going to run this car for flat out top speed of course. Just know that if you have a stock or even modded ZL1, your top speed is likely 175ish.
Auto cars will do 200 bone stock. 198 MPH into the wind and 202 MPH with the wind I think were GM's test results.
