My HO will do 60 mph at an elevation of 3000 ft. I have never tried it at sea level but I would think it would do around 65 mph. It's about 3% loss of power for every 1000 ft.
Hope this is of some help.

Mine does 60 also according to the speedo whether it be a 1/2 mile or 3 mile straightaway.

<FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c0ccd8">Mine also tops out at 60 no matter the distance. Could it be that this is all the clutches are capable of shifting out to??</FONT>

Wow, I can do 60 quite consistently at 5000 feet (Colorado) with my '99 Xplorer 400 4x4
