My 5th gear is 1.15 (3.97) and the final is 3.44:1. Revs level off at 8500 so it seems they haven't hit the limit. The resistance just seems to win the battle.
I haven't checked my top speed but you should gain 1 to 3 mph if you go at lower revs (around 8200-8300rpm when on top speed is where I've felt when we raced Brianza and Belgium it goes fastest).
Also ride heights are important in top speed. Having the front and rear at the same height from the tarmac gives the least drag
