any idea what speed i'd be travelling when bouncing off the limiter in 4th. with a standard engine (2.5) and non sport gearbox, and with a final drive of 3.46:1? my dash clocks dont illuminate currently, just hoping for some guesstimates.

I do 124 on the limiter in mine, also showed as 124 on the dyno. I cant see yours being much different, possibly a little lower due to the different diff
