Long straightaway a couple of years ago saw 155 (by the tach - the speedo bouncing - higher - and I was paying attention to the road!!) in SPF887. The front end does feel light at that speed - no doubt there is much less front tire contact then at 65.
351/385hp 3.27 gear and .68 5sp TKO at 4500rpm
Doesn't take long to get to 120. The next 30mph takes longer. I doubt it would go much faster (lack of hp). Don't plan on going up there again. 0-120 or so is much more fun :-)
