Top speed?
My 82 FC now sports a 225 hp turbo, but to the best of my knowledge it
still has the tall NA gearing in the diff.

I can get maybe 68 mph out of my bird flat out. I believe my speedo to
be pretty accurate as I have compared it to a pace car. Does this seem
normal? I am not really interested in running that fast anyway, but I
see a lot of folks talk about getting better than 70mph out of their
FC's and mine wouldn't do that downhill with a tail wind. I have seen
the charts on vintagebirds, but didn't know if they would be accurate
for me since I have the engine swap-out.

Thanks
