top speed should be a factor of gear ratios. doesn't matter how much hp you have. if your car redlines at 6200 rpm, then your top speed will be what ever your doing when you get there in your highest gear. if you add a bunch of go fast goodies, you will get there quicker, but you still won't go any higher unless you increase the rpms or shorten the gears. (i'm leaving out any discussion of aerodynamics since that's not my forte, monster can elaborate) but your engine really isn't doing much more work maintaining 5000 rpm in 5th gear than it is in 1st - 4th. but those are just my thoughts.
