I have 3.92 gears in a 5sp man. trans. 2000 4x4 CC Sport with the 4.7. I had
it up to 115 mph in 4th gear and I think the RPM's were close to 5,500 when I
shifted into 5th and let off. Got scared! From what I have heard that's where
the limiter would have kicked in anyway. I was extremely surprised at how
well it handled at that speed. I would have expected more vibration and
shake, especially from a 4x4. I think with no limiter it would definitely go
over 120, but I don't recommend it, even with speed rated tires and an open
road. You never know what might happen. Speed rated tires can blow too, and
at 120 a blowout would not be good!
