The gearing in my 87spg is such that it redlines somewhere around 130mph. I could swear my father's former '85 spg had taller gearing. The only ways to raise your max speed would be to get different tranny output sprockets from another car or to raise your engine redline. You can tell by looking at the data plate on the tranny. SOmeone posted the code table on here. For reference, my '01 viggen goes about 15mph faster at the same rpm as the '87 spg.
