Some cars had 115mph speed limiters in the stock ECMs. Most I've seen were 305TPI/T5 cars, but if you car had lower performance wheels/tires from the factory, they may have put the limiter on.

Speed limited by Factory, due to non-speed rated stock tires. If you improved your tire package a new Prom for the computer with the limiter removed will do the trick.

It also wont shift into 4th gear at WOT. The friction discs in overdrive on the 700r4 were not designed to take full throttle driving, so the trans is mechanically governed to prevent it from shifting into 4th.
