With your 26.5 inch tire and a 6,500 rpm rev limit the following will be your speed in each of the six MN6 gears with a 3.90:1 final drive ratio:
1st - 49.4 mph
2nd - 73.8 mph
3rd - 101.1 mph
4th - 131.4 mph
5th - 177.5 mph
6th - Not useable.
Good luck with your decision.

Short of having a big cube motor and a ZR1 gearbox, the 3.42 gear is hard to beat. I run a 25.5" tire with a 6900rpm limiter and stock diff and I never have to use 5th.
I thought that I had this video posted with data, but I guess I don't.
Either way, you can get a feel for the combination by watching this version. You may be able to carry 3rd all the way down through the esses with the taller tire, but I haven't done the math on your 6500 limiter.
