Doing stupid things is part of the learning curve called life. With that said, I had my 72lwb running 155mph. Pretty hot small block th350 and a 3.07 gear.Turning 5500rpm in 3rd gear with a 29 inch tire. Speedo was buried and the truck was just gliding along. Did a lot better than i thought it would. It would accidentally run 100mph with the 3.07 gear

125-30 in my 1972 Monte Carlo, with a state cop chasing me for 10 miles, my buddy screaming like a woman in the passenger seat. Outran the cop, but not his radio. Not one of my smartest moves, but unforgettable. At 94,xxx miles, the Monte was never the same.

You realize that puts you at about 150mph, right?
