I have driven a 69 390 Mustang with a Fo' on the Flo' and I thought it was

quick as hell, although I didn't have the o****tunity to really wind it
out. 
I spoke to someone who owned a 69 440 Dodge RT and he said it would hit 
160mph. And that was with only Fo' speeds. I personally owned a 69 Ply. 
RoadRunner with a 383 with an auto trans and got it up to about 115mph.
Sure 
it kept climbing but I didnt want to go any faster, it had about 100k
miles 
or more on it at the time and the steering gearbox was a bit loose at the 
car began to float like a boat.
