I still get a kick out of the fact that stock '87 TC had a 148MPH top speed. Makes you wonder what top speed is like after a few mods [Image: smile.gif] I'm way too chicken to ever find out though
Ditto here Sam. If the gears stay stock, all the other typical mods should help top speed, so it ought to be way up there.
Getting up into the range of the drag co-efficiencies of the Fox body having more impact than horsepower at that speed (exponential ratio of horsepower/speed)?

But still a hell of a hipo sleeper!

Mathematically , the rev limiter should keep the 87 and 88 TCs below 177mph. At least a couple of people on this board have been pretty close to that , though.
