Seems to be. Mine repeatedly sees upward of 6000 rpm - down the faster straights my 5900 upshift indicator is blinking and I'm in 4th gear (1.00:1). That's about 125 mph on tires that are listed at 25.9" tall, or about where you'd be with 3.73 axle gears and 27" tall tires.
265's will get you started, but I think you'll outgrow 265's on 9.5" wheels soon enough, on 9" wheels even faster. That's actually a decent street combination - I'm currently running 265/40-18's on 18x9.5 wheels for street duty. But even though the actual tread width of these 265/40's is the same as my 285/35's and they're the same make and model tire, the grip, response, and general "feel" are all noticeably "off" from what the 285/35's on 18x11's provide (same day, same road testing). So which will it be, two small steps up from 235's or one giant step now?
I'm surprised you could still source the blue brake fluid, as it was recalled a couple of years ago specifically because of its color. And I think Florida had been aware of the matter further back than that.

Okay, so my plan is to start out the 265/40/18 or 35 profile depending on what I can find in the few tires laid out for me and go up to 285's when worn out.
Its no longer blue, got it on ebay. I just still call it super blue lol.
