So what is the spec of this fire breathing dragon? Big turbo, ITB's, management?
No, none of those just some wet and dry paper around your ports and filler in your airbox.
Post the spec, post a rolling road printout. Post ANYTHING other than the shit you have been doing.

also you can adjust the length of the feed pipe so it can work better at lower speeds or higher speeds, the closer the feed tube to the airbox for lower speeds and further away for higher speeds this also helps when you run lager throttle bodys ie cav 1.8 spi throttle body and helps get round the square inlet port on the c 1.4/1.6/1.8 nz cylinder head

that gearbox would never do 128mph in 4th at 5700 rpm. the gearing is not right.
unless you are using a really low Final drive?

your speedo is wrong or you are wrong, infact probably both. what is this pressure crap you are on about are you an aerodynamisist? are you an engine designer? NO!!!
You don't have forced induction it is basically a myth on N/A road car engines i've done the calculations before if i remember correctly on a 2 litre car driving at 150mph the pressure increase is 0.2 psi so probably 1 bhp more.
If i were youi would try to somehow prove your airbox mods are 'real' either rolling road for your crazy power increase or get the thing flow bench tested to see if it really does live up to your expectations. In the mean time i think you should do the above, learn to quote people properly by clicking on the "quote" option and stop repeating things you just said.

The size of the engine is irrelevant, the gearbox is all that matters as to what mph per 1krpm it does in each gear.

Perhaps suggest what box he would be using then?

its all down to the Final drive and the size of the wheels.

a low final drive ratio gives a higher top speed for the same RPM's that the engine/transmission are turning.
a larger wheel will give a higher rate of mph's for the same engine rpm's.
