Andy, the truck would become air born before you reached that point, hee hee!! JK :)
When I got my custom PCM, (speed limiter removed) I took mine up to 120 in 5th, no problem, still pulling, and felt stable. I suspect, if someone were brave enough (or stupid enough) :) you could probably get 130-140 out of it, I would'nt do it ! The 120 came real easy, lots of rpms left.

<< Sure you didn't hit the speed limiter? Also keep in mind that like
other things, your truck probably has a terminal velocity (for lack of a
better term), a point at which you will need a LARGE amount of power to
get a speed increase, because of aerodynamics and other factors.
