ya check out your fuel and make sure you have good pressure also check the intercooler boots,if one of them is ripped or came off it will decrease your power and speed, a gsk kit will raise your top speed also but you should be able to hit 80 or 90mph stock, my 95 with auto would go 95 tops stock but when i put the 3k springs in-it just keeps climbing past 110

also had a bone stock 94 with 5speed and 4.10 and max top end was 85mph fulling loaded or empty
