most people I know with a 998 said they've had it off the clock (past 90) but as above, top speed will be affected by a lot of factors
Theoretical top speed going buy guesswork’s calculator with 12” wheels and 3.9 diff at 6k is about 103mph.
My own 25, 998 with a 2.9 diff might just get off the Speedo at 120mph at 6k.
The stage one kit won’t really make much difference to top speed, just slightly reduce the time it take to get there.

My 998 with mods, but not quite as beefy as a stage one, will hit the top of the clock and keep on climbing easy
so you should have no probs there

I have a relatively fit 1000 and down hill it will manage about 95.Even with a stage 1 i would not expect more than a 100.If your after top speed then you need an engine that revs as mins are short geared.
Are you sure your speedo isn't in KMH?

hmm well I had about 105 sat nav speed in my 'stage 3 1275' , 120 in a 988, I'd love to see that lol
My satnav dies at anything past 75ish, cursing at 70 for me is only 3.5k in 4th
I’m never going to try and get it off the clock, I’d have to be doing more than 120 for a start
