Top end speed from healthy,Stock NA?
I'm thinking mine is getting tired. 107 is about all she will do. I have a block in my garage with 40k miles on it (rebuilt by Rotary Performance, Dallas) I'm thinking about installing it. I guess I should do compression tests, and all, but I think it's just showing it's age. I'd like to know what others get out of there's on top end. Stock only, please..

I went around 130mph in 4th gear. If I remember correctly, the engine was at around 8,000rpm. 5th gear didnt make any power since its an overdrive gear. Make sure all your tires are in balance and your brakes are in good shape when your doing these high speed runs. Also, please dont make this kind of run with other traffic on the road. the last think you need is some guy pulling into your lane.
When your going that fast, your going to run up on people so quickly, they wont expect you to be there.

I'm pretty sure my 5th and 6th ports are working. It's pretty strong at higher RPM's. I probably could get more out of it in 4th gear. I don't want to sling it apart though.

I hit about 140 mph in my 88 SE when she was stock. This was at 7500 RPM in 4th gear. Redline is 7k.
This took me probably two miles or so...lol.
I haven't tried with current mods...which are in sig.

I hit 140 in my 90 GXL, with about 135k miles on it at the time. It was still accelerating. I don't know what it would have hit. That was on a flat highway.
Edit:That was the indicated speed, I don't know how accurate my speedo is.
