Mine has been to 135 mph and still pulling hard. That was before the pullies, mass air, and advanced timing. And only a short stretch of road. I would guess 150 mph capable on a non-scorching-hot day.

Some people complaining about the governor? Is this standard on all Mustangs? I know I had my friend's mustang up to 110mph but it didn't seem to want to go faster, pedal to the floor. 4-speed auto, everything stock. Is this the governor kicking in?

blue00gt 08-23-2001 01:34 PM

Speedo indicated 135 in my '00 (4th gear). Went to 5th and pulled very sluggish.
As for my '79 PaceCar, I tached 5000rpm with C4 and 2.47 gears in 3rd racing a Challenger, but the old speedo only goes to 80.

topless tire fryer 08-23-2001 03:21 PM

Vector, easy way to tell if its the governor is to watch the tach. Had my foot to the floor and she was pulling really well at about 3,750 RPMish at 110mph, hit 112mph and the tach droped to 2,150 RPMish and stayed there no matter how much gas & swearing I tried. Mines also a 'vert, so the governor may kick in earlier then a hardtop.

How are you getting a T-5 to hold 860hp with a 351 running slicks? Most people have a hard time holding them together deep into the 11s. Let alone 9's.

#1 Pony 08-27-2001 12:57 AM

The governer? Are you talking about the thing Ford up in their cars/trucks to keep them from going over a certian speed? Like in their SUV's & Trucks they can't go over 80-90 mph??? So they put'em on Mustangs too?? What years?

In my stock '87GT years ago, I passed a buddy of mine in his '89 Formula 350 Firebird. My speedo only registered 85 but his said 139 when I passed him. I've only done that once and don't plan on doing it again. The fun part is seeing how fast you can reach the posted speed limit (or a little faster).

If you'll look at his quote a little further he said he was betting it might pull to 150. Not totally unreasonable. Pulling hard is relative. In this case he wasn't talking like it was pulling the 0-60 all over again, just that it had some room left.

Unit5302's right. It still had room left (wasn't hitting a wall). To me that's pulling pretty good still.

FYI the ambient temperature that night was in the zone of 30 degrees. Canadian winters are fun http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

Not too sure of my top speed. Have had it up too 150mph. that is all my speedo goes to. I plan on getting a 200mph speedo soon. Can and will not go that fast again on the street, so I am going to the salt flat to give her all she gots as soon as I do some more mods.

278 kmh about 173mph before the turbo and gear swap the car was pulling hardder than i wanted it to (wouldnt do that again)

on the tranny (t5) there are two wires hooked up to 5th that you can disconect for higher top speed.

Buried the needle on the speedo at 150mph in my GT. That was on a pretty empty stretch of freeway, going slightly downhill, in the middle of Sacramento. I realized how stupid it was (and how lucky I am to still have a license) so I don't plan on doing it again anytime soon.


What a rush, though!
