Default Final gears in 175cc stroker.

I happen to come into a little cash. Thinking about pulling the trigger. And building the 175cc stroker I've been wanting for the yerfdog.
From what I understand, with the stoker, you can't push the rpm range as high. Keep it under 9k. Or risk blowing it. But the power is much greater at the lower end. So should I look into changing the final gear setup? If so, with what. And if anyone knows, what am I looking at for top speed with 22 inch rear tires?
Thanks.

Well, my set up is listed below in my sig. I'm right around 40 MPH top speed, but it gets there pretty quick.

In my opinion, if you want torque, build a stroker.

If you want speed, build your HP and MAX RPM.

Either way, just to be safe, get the good valve springs from TOM at Syc powersports. Well worth the $$$.

I bent valves twice with other "performance" valve springs installed.

Thanks. Will take your advise.
40 MPhil is plenty fast.
