Top Speed?

What would hte top speed be of a 91 RS with LO3, totaly stock with bypassed speed limiter?

What if I add Open Air and Flowmaster 80 (i know JUST the flowmaster wont help very much...)?
I was just thinking about it, and was wondering what everyone else thinks...
BTW, I hit 100 on surface roads (wide open, couldnt resist), and it felt totaly stable, hell, it was beggin fer more!

The guy that had my car before me lived in Arizona and got clocked going across the desert at 130 mph. I don't know if he was BS'n me but he seemed serious. I know that his wife told me that he lost his license for a long while because of it.

With stock 2.73 gears you can get into the mid 130's with open el and cat-back. At least that's the info I've seen posted a while back when a bunch of guys got a chance to do it the legal way.
If you go for steeper gears the engine won't be able to go that deep into the rpm range and you'll actually loose top speed.

With the redesigned kickdown valve and headers, you may even be able to get a bit higher than that...

I have a 92 with 2.73 gears and it looked like I was pulling about 130 (can't tell thanks to the 110 speedometer) but I have a ticket to prove that it can do atleast 112.

Stock eprom speed limiter is set to 115mph and resume is set at 110. The cali cars eproms had the speed limiters set at 108 and resume at 106.
Anybody going over 115 in a TBI at the end of the 1/4 is doing something right and I'll bet they aren't using a stock eprom.

I've been over 108. 125 max if I remember. I'll never do that again
