A stock FI 71 should cruise easily at 80 and should get up to 100 
given sufficient time and guts. 100 is probably above the red line for 
the engine, so you should not do it too often or too long.

If yours is weaker than this then you should check out all the tune-
up and FI items, as well as the compression.

OTOH, I haven't hit 100 in years. Age does wonders for ones 
moderation.  ;-)
