I've done so on several occasions, there are places to go that fast. Even as fast as 180+

If you have headers, all you needs is a long steep hill

My Speedometer said 148/149
But my handheld GPS said 146 when the Limiter kicked in, so I'm going by the GPS.

It tops out at around 148 - 150. The only reason for this is because that is what the stock tires are rated for. When the limiter kicks in, you are still in 4th gear. Who knows how fast it will go. The car stops pulling real hard once you hit 4th gear.
