The fastest FJ I'm aware of is Chris Wyatt (fj1289) who did 198mph in the standing mile.

A stock FJ will do ~145.
With gearing, header, pods and tuning, a healthy FJ will go ~150-155.
Engine work, Cams and carbs ~160+.

What's your budget? What's your goal? 1/4, 1/2, 1 mile....or Bonneville?

Can't claim the fastest ...yet.  That is still the turbo nitrous FJ1100 from the Sport Rider UFO '93 article at 214.285 mph.

Details are in the article linked in this post:

198 mph was done with a 1350 engine built by Randy at RPM with some mild cams and 150HP shot of nitrous.  More speed was capable with some more tuning, but a part failure caused a missed shift which lead to a "little" uh-oh with the nitrous and a destroyed top end.    Expensive mistake that has lead to a whole series of changes to the race bike attempting to fix that issue and then a few that have shown up since then.  Hoping to get back on track (literally and figuratively!) on July 26th at Bandimere for test-n-tune.  "Should" have the data logging issue fixed and can finally start getting things tuned and running hard again!
