e-mc2,

In that case would a high wing and T-tail be a better combo for speed?

gemarl,

In theory I guess that is true, but practically... not so. A high will will need to have an even higher horizontal stab. The weight added plus the offset with the thrust line would be too difficult and probably not worth it for a practical design.
