Are you talking about a 25th anniversary edition?
I don't remember the number made, nice car though...

I'd guess the top speed is around 140 for a hardtop with 2.73 rear and 305 TPI Auto... maybe 145 w/ 5spd

If you've got 305 TBI then I'd place it around 130

You'll need to provide some more info about your car if you want a better estimate.

look at 8th digit of your VIN number (driver's side windshield, at the bottom) if it's an '8' it's the 350 TPI (probably what you have) same engine as me. 245hp 345 ft lbs of torque (lots of torque... good for low-mid range power).

top speed probably about 140-150mph
exhaust/intake/freemods get you around 150mph mark.
port the intake about 155mph

sounds like a nice ride, why not post some more information... maybe even some pictures of it what color is it?

ALSO: look under your glovebox there should be an RPO code list... a little list of 3digit letters/numbers. If you find "1LE" listed there or "B4C" sell the car to me, hehe. they are the rarer ones of the group (for more info do a search on the history board)

I read an article about the 87 IROC 350 topping out at 150. It was in one of the car magazines.

This calculator will give you your theoretical top speed (i.e., your top speed if your motor has the power) at all rpms (in 500 rpm increments) in the various gears.
