I've searched Google for over an hour now with no luck.. the van is a 95 G30 350 with the low gear auto tyranny and rear end. Speedo only goes to 85 so if I had to guess it looked by the speedo that fuel cut out at around 120mph? Anyone know what the top speed of the van is/where fuel cutout is set in the ecu? Thanks in advance.

With only 200 HP at 4000 RPM, I doubt the van would reach 90.
Remember, you're pushing a 5800 lb brick through the air.

No, I had one, it will do 90 in a pinch, maybe get it over 100 on the flat, fuel cuts off at high RPM but not sure where. Top speed also depends on the gear ratio, depending on which axle anywhere from a 3.21 to a 4.11

Thanks both of you. I'm not sure of the gear ratio, hope to learn a bit more about the van as time goes on. I was on the highway, and downhill at full throttle. Will turn GPS on my phone on next time, after I fix tie rods. I will say, with 10 ply tires (not sure of the speed rating of the tires), not 20 miles after hitting fuel cutout I had broken a belt in the tire and had a blowout. I honestly do believe I was close to 110 mph. Will get a pretty accurate estimate next time via GPS, and will post the results.

There's a label inside the glovebox with all the RPO codes on it, one of which will tell the gear ratio. Probably begins with a G.

No reason to run anything other than light truck load rated radials on these. If the tires are old they can blow out at any time, that's what old radials do. In fact the set that came on the 1995 G30 I once had, I had taken off and stacked on their sides in a building and one blew up while stacked.

I had a 95 G30 that would cruise at 80 mph by barely pressing on the gas pedal. It had load range E tires that could hold 80psi which made them hard as hell. I doubt that van would have had any trouble doing 100mph. I really miss it.
