155 is possible with 300 h.p.

I did the Silver State Classic Road Race in Sep 2000 and went through the official radar trap at 148.
At that time all I had was the stock motor (212 rwhp), Kenne Bell ram air, Pulleys. and stock H-pipe with Race Magnum mufflers.

It took 2 miles to get to that speed and that was absolutely all she had.

I completely agree with the wind resistance problem. Fox body cars are kinda like a brick compared to more slippery body styles. I had no windshield wipers, radio antenna, or front license plate. Had tape around headlights & windshield moldings. Also had 44 psi (cold)in all tires.

BTW bench racing is way safer than actually doing this. One slip-up or tire failure will most likely spell disaster for you and maybe somebody else.

Don't forget that speedos can be way fast or slow at high speed depending on how much you have changed tire height or gear ratios from stock.
