Whenever I'm on I-75 or on an open state road and there are no cars near me, I let her rip 105-110mph. But once I see there are cars starting to approach, I immediately start to reduce speed to 80. It's better to be safe than sorry.

fastest I got this one was pulling 3rd and 4th embarrassing a Porsche from 65 to about 130. Once I had like 7 cars on him I didn't feel I needed to go any further and push into 5th.
Did about 147 in my 98 once, where either it is speed limited (not sure) or it just didn't have any more muscle to keep going.

How quick? 
Hit 140, then shut it down. And just the one time. There's no need to be going that fast. Plus, I like the quick acceleration more than the top speed. Did this on the 417 South Bound, for all the Orlando boys. Completely empty about mid morning, no cars for miles.
Usually, if it's a good stretch, I may accelerate to 100 or so, but I try to keep it about 70 when traffic's moving good. Can't afford tickets these days. I've got a CDL and don't wanna lose my job.

Damn limiter..How fast can our 4.0's go stock with a tune/CAI setup only?
