Top speed will be in the 165mph range with 3.55 gears.
Not with an auto, heck my 93 w/headers and a cam would barely do 155, course it had 150k miles on it at the time, but I had 2.56 gears.
I would think you should be in the 140 mph range, but I can't say for sure, as you did not mention your HP.
Also, just because it is a 383, does not make it a beast. Tuning, how well your heads and intake flow, all play a part in how well it will perform and whether you have a lowend, mid range or topend designed cam.
