I don't know why you would want to do this. But since I am an insomniac and have nothing better to do:
Assuming you have 3.73 rear gears, and the stock 265/70r17 tires, and a redline of 3200 rpm:
in first gear: 32.9mph
in second: 55.59mph
in 3rd: 80.61mph
in OD: 116.82mph

Heres my math for you all to check over:
3200rpm*60min/hr*(1/gear ratio)*1/diff ratio)*miles/revolution=miles/hr

(miles/rev=Diameter*Pi*63360in/mile)

If you only need to go fast once, on the cheap, any Ram will hit just the other side of 120 mph if the bridge is high enough
