Without overdrive your top speed will likely be gearing limited. The charger cop cars will run 150+ I would expect a much lighter A Body should be able to reach at least that with an overdrive.

Here's a fun tool to give you some idea depending on tire size and rear end ratio.

Here's another one that will give you a graph of speed in each gear.
