120kph is about 75mph, the absolute max speed I can hit usually on the flat with my 300GD. I'd expect to be running very high rpms at that speed. My tach doesn't work but I think you'd expect to be up around 4500 rpm.
How do you feel about your low end power with those big tires annd stock gears? What size tires are you running? The more top end speed you get with larger tires the less low end acceleration you'll have.
What transmission do you have?
What is the current gearing of your diffs? There is a tag on the axle that shows the gears ratios. Different ring and pinion sets are available but pretty pricey, I believe about $800 US per diff, new. Sometimes they are available used from someone swapping out. I think someone on one of the forums was just offering to trade a set, can't remember what ratio though.
If you fill in your profile with your vehicle info and location it will help others help you in the future. Also I believe there are some other 460 owners in Alberta, I've seen the location on this or the Pointed Three forum before.
