I've set my cruise at ~95 and I've had it pegged hard (over 100mph). Since I'm on 32s, running a '92 rear axle, and a '94(?) PSOM that's recalibrated for the tires, my speedo is accurate.(Note the vacuum gauge reading...)

I got my '89 into the range of 90-100. Judging by the spacing on the speedometer where it DOES have numbers, I'd say it was closest to 95. It was just kind of a "test" to see what my truck could do. I slowed down quite soon after I got going that fast. I generally don't like to drive faster than 70 or 75. On a side note, I was pleased to find that my stock 302 w/ 153000 miles can do 0-60 in less than 10 seconds w/ the mazda 5 spd. That might be different, though, now that I have my 235's. Oh well....
