Its either 108 or 115 can't remember exactly.

It varied from early years.

Im fairly positive that the govener kicks in at 115. My friend has had his 3.4 up to 120 before he shut down. Im sure the 3.8 can do better than that.

The 3.8l govenor is at 118mph. When I asked this question a long time ago I was told the 3.8l could go 145mph without the govenor.
