Nothing definate, but i was told that with the ratio you have in the car, a capri 2.8 i believe with the cossie gearbox etc....you are looking at 200+ mph.

think a 3.4 will be good for 150-160 with better acceleration.

or if you can go a higher ration but sacraficing top end speed but gaining lower end.

Will also depend on tyre size and rev limit.

you also need to have a feild where you put in the frontal area and the CD to see how much power your car will need to reach those speeds
