You'll be lucky to crack 80 mph going downhill. So be more concerned with how it gets from 60-75 mph. That's what I worry about. I found that my bike is more responsive on the lean side.
The PO had a 55 pilot and a 155 in my bike. It sounded nice, but performed like a turd. Had to down shift going up hills, was a pig on fuel, spitting wet carbon exhaust all over the back wheel, etc.
Went back to stock and it could idle up hills in 5th gear (slight exaggeration) and accelerated quicker. So quick it would flatten out fast, which made it feel almost slow, like it wasn't pulling as hard. But the bike was topping out in each gear quicker with less noise (a cleaner, quieter sound) that made it seem like it lost power. It pulls better at highway speeds but gets really soft at 75 mph.
It runs so well off the bottom, I almost don't want to mess with it. It's really fun to short shift it. I would like it to pull each gear just a tad longer so I'll mess around with the main jet a little more but I can't see ever going as rich as the guy I bought it from.
