My main question is whether the cut is too big to be patched.
As others have said, ditch that tire. BTW-I vary around 150-155 lbs, and have Michelin Pro 4 Service Course 700x25 (actually measure 28 on my rims), and I run them around 80-85 psi without any problems. Actually get a more comfortable ride and if anything, feels faster at the lower psi. Wouldn't advise running any tire at max pressure.
