Does anyone know what the top speed on a Stock 2003 GT is? Will a power programmer make it faster?

There are several places I can take it up to 140+. Right now, its only topping out at 115 in a 5spd.

I hit 140mph on 280 in san mateo county, those big sweeping turns start to get scary at that speed. That was the first and probably last time I'll go near 140mph in a fox.
