Top speed On your Ranger

Just wondering what kind of speeds everyone has hit with their Rangers.
My 2005 4.0 V6 with a tune and intake hits 115 then ceases to climb anymore. I think I have the towing gears, not too sure though.

So yeah, post Year&Motor and any mods you have.

Does it really matter? What really matters is how long it takes to get TO the top speed. And lets be honest, The Ranger wasn't built for speed.

I have only been able to get to 95 then it pings off the rev limiter.

Not sure how long to get there. All i know is it will kill a hybrid....

I hit 9000 mph in reverse once, but that was going down hill with a tailwind.

91 max. 1/4 mile is more important to me than top speed. 245ish in a Veyron? Eh. The 0-60 in 2 seconds and the 10 second quarter mile is much better.
