Like everyone else said, stock it's limited to 155. With that tuned out, it's gear limited just under 180mph, but it's not going to reach that on stock horsepower. However, very minor modifications can make a hell of a lot more power. Considering you said it sounded like a fart can, it probably had equal length headers, if so it was likely making 300+ awhp and would be a very good run for an SS from a roll. With stock or like stock unequal length headers, the 2.5 sounds much deeper and lopey than your typical 4 cylinder and even 6 cylinder for that matter. Still could be considered fart canny by some I guess.
