I was able to get about 125mph out of my old '77. It had a 350 with a TH350, not sure what gears. It was bone stock and would cruise at that without too much trouble. Its hard to say what it would top out at with it only having an 85mph speedo. I got the 125 when I was chasing a friends Camaro one night and he told me about what we were running. I never had it much over that I don't think. Due to some other "issues" I haven't had my current truck over 100mph, but there again I still have an 85mph speedo so its hard to say exactly. I think it would top 140mph without any problem but once you top 155 or so it takes a ton of power to push the truck through the air much faster. It doesn't help that we're all driving a "flying brick" as far as aerodynamics go...:p
