Just as in the Model A world, depends on what has been done to the engine. Biggest difference, only have at most the transmission brake and maybe 2 wheel brakes depending on how setup. Then too, those 2 brakes don't have a lot of road surface where the tire meets the pavement.
35-40 is comfortable for a stock T, on roads without a lot of hills.
