Silverstone gearing?

Ok, need an idea of gearing for this saturday for the 3TJ
I've got a 520 conversion and at the mo i've gone for 16 on the front and 42 at the back, which should give me a theoretical top speed of 142mph @ 13000rpm.
Std 15/43 would give 130mph @ 13000rpm.
As Silverstone is a quick track with minimal slow corners i'm drawn towards getting the most out it but without sacrificing drive out of the slower corners.
Your thoughts.......?
