Stock? No idea. My ITS prepped NA (essentially bolt ons that are pretty common) has run out to around 140 on several occasions. I'd guess it's good for a bit more but not much. Maybe 150 if you had enough room?

On my old shitty 86 NA on route 65 in california I was doing ~140, but at that speed my steering wheel was vibrating so much I could barely hold on, then I got pulled over by CHP.

Yea, I figured a non-turbo could handle 140+, my 240sx can do about 130 maybe 135 before it runs out of power. Thanks for the info.
