I am using this trans in my '87 GT. It has 215 65 15 tires on the rear. First gear is not bad considering a lot of other things I have been driving.
I found a clear straight with no traffic, no cops, and no houses and did a test (a few months back with a unknowing passenger). I don't recall 1st but I think it was 35-40, second is 60, third was about 80, 4th... I did not dare to keep my foot down past 95, besides, I don't have a license for another month and the car is not registered. I would not try anything sudden with the trans (this means no burnouts, clutch kicking, holding it floored when going from dirt to something grippy..), you might need a ride home after.
