From what I see at the races in divisions 4, 5, and 7 the average speed in SG is about 155 to 160.
A few years back I witnessed the Jegs car at Chicago go 9.90 at 200 MPH. I think he only went one round with it so I would say 200 MPH is a little to fast to be consistent.
When I built my new car in 2006 it went 163 to 165 at 9.90 and I was usually in the top 10 MPH cars in the field.
Not any more. There are lots of cars with more MPH than mine now.
My biggest concern is the idiots who lock up the brakes at the finish line with the big MPH and hurt themselves and others.
My 2 Cents
