I'm not sure what your askin, for the theoretical top speed? i believe that the top speed on an 87-93 fox manual hardtop is about 135 (most people get it up to about there), and yours is a 94-95, a little heavier, so it'd probably be a little lower. your gears would affect that. now, the theoretical top speed is different:
say you go all the way to the redline (5800 rpm) in 5th gear (.68:1). ((5800/.68/3.73)
(24*pi)/12/5280)*60 == 163mph. that does *not* account for wind drag, though, so your actual top speed may be lower.
The only way to test and find actual top speed though, is with a long strip of road airstrip or highway. doing so will usually result in donut eaters being called, but you have to think (gonna take some more math...) if your going that fast (90mph, say), that in the time it takes the officer's (i use the term lightely) car to reach that speed (crown vic runs the quarter in 15.5 for sake of discussion at 85) is 16.5 seconds, and thats just to MATCH your speed, not to gain on you. by the time he gets to 90 (you will have continued to accelerate, right?) you will be another .4125 miles from him (probably more, given your still accelerating), and given you are driving a modified vehicle, he will never gain on you. so just get off at the next exit, make a bunch of turns and hide. have fun!
