With a TH350, which has no overdrive gear, and a set of 3.73's, i wouldn't count on anything over 130mph.. and thats at about 5500-6000 rpm.

The good Camaros of the '60s and '70s (late '70s were pretty sad) usually had that same setup.

Ex. a 1970 Z28 Camaro had a 350ci (LT-1, 370hp), TH350 and 3.73 rear. Its top speed was around 125-130 mph.
