true. i did not want to go into a great amount of detail. however, assuming you have the horsepower to reach redline, you can't get a higher top end speed without changing the ratios or redline. am i wrong? and remeber, the concept of horsepower is slightly different than many years ago when it actually meant the equivalent of that number of horses pulling. now days it's more a measure of engine efficiency. torque is what pushes you back in the seat when you jump on the gas. but i agree that drag can be an issue on reaching a higher speed and that unless you have the power to overcome the drag, you might not make it to redline in 5th. therefore your top speed would be an issue of your engine. i'll just keep rambling if i don't stop now... :)
