whatever the tach says does not mean that is what your car can do.......you own a 20 yr old vehicle that your trying to get going more than 100......if it is leaning out then you are gona blow the engine and then you will have a serious problem while going 100MPH

your 5th and 6th port actuators are probably stuck shut, i bet that is the problem.

yeah I can do 100 mph in 4th gear and still have 5th to go. I agree with RX7Boy6 I bet your 6 ports are closed and not allowing more power to get the engine to "pony up"

You'll get to max speed in 4th.

Yea, mine will go a lot faster. I have a 90 convert, and it goes over 100mph in 3rd. There is something wrong with your car.
