Engine Questions, Recently swapped engine Options

[eduxz]

Well the topic says what this is about. Recently i had a forced engine swap due to the fact that the original engine of my celica was totaled. I bought a 7a-fe Engine from a Special edition celica. Year 96 to be precise, the engine had 158k miles but that's the best i could get on my budget. Even though the mileage is on the high side the engine runs very smoothly to my very surprised. Now the reason of this post is. The engine swap was successful and the car runs great but to my concern the engine wont get me past 100 miles per hour. Not that i am looking to be hitting the 140 but i am just curious as to why the engine won't give me more power. I currently own a cold air intake so should give around 5 to 10 more horse power yet, the car won't give more

P.S: my previous engine before the incident topped 115 miles per hours Stock


Any comments will be greatly appreciated

NO the engine doesn't clip at all it reaches 100mph like any car would, but once it gets there the engine wont give it enough power to go past 100mph if i go downhill yes it will go past but once i go back to a flat road the car will slow down back to 100mph. Second, yes i am aware that 7a-fe aren't top side highspeed engines but since i was puzzled at the fact that my old engine would peak 115mph around 100kish miles and to be honest the previous owner left the car to rot and this new engine which inspected myself and a professional mechanic looked very well maintained although the mileage is past 150k. Very important im not trying to make the car any faster im just puzzled at the fact that the engine won't crank the power i believed it would
