Speedo only goes to 85, but say you had it around ~5,800 in 4th gear, about to go into 5th. How fast would you be going?

I've got 3.55s and I'm somewhere around 125MPH when shifting into 5th.

I figure he has 2.73's or 3.08's. 5,800rpm in 4th gear with 2.73's is flying...I know from experience. I tached 5th gear out when my car was stock with 2.73's and an A-trim

Hard to tell with stock gauges. Top of 4th gear my car read about 117-121 the needle read 120. This was at 5,600-5,800 RPMS and needle read 5,800. Again stock gauges aren't always correct.
Somewhere in the middle of 5th gear the needle read 140mph so maybe I was going like 135-140 but I didn't see the RPMs because the car started floating into the next lane and the ass of the car was all over the place. I wont ever go that fast in my mustang again unless I make some changes to keep the car on the ground.

The gears are whatever the 88 LX 5.0's have stock.

Stock ones, they are REALLY long, need to swap them out asap.

You barely have enough power to top out 4th gear completely in a stock 5.0 with 2.73's..
Its around 140mph or so, going from memory. Can be easily calculated

The motor isnt stock, but the drivetrain is.
