That era of Fords were definetly not known for their speed capabilty's. However, since it has a next to new top end, you would think she would run like a new engine. I dunno, Im saying it should be able too... :?

Ummmm, yea sounds like a fuel injector problem, might want to try a fuel injector cleaner like STP or Outlaw, my parents 1992 Explorer doesn't have a problem making it up to 90, course it's running at about 3000rpm or so, may be a little lower, w/ a 4.0L V6
