When I asked a seller what speeds he achieved WOT, he replied :"per the operating instructions , the throttle is only advanced to 75% of max rpm. At that, it's about 20 mph." Does that sound right? And is he saying I can only get 75% or is it fixed to only go 75%? I would expect top speed of 40mph-ish +

OR let's say, what should I expect for speed on a 1989 Montauk w/original 1989 Mercury recently tuned at 3,750 RPMs?
Thanks.
