Nope, The only way you can change the top speed in each gear is by actually changing gearing. Increasing your rev limit will allow you to stay in gear alittle longer meaning alittle extra speed. Redline stock will take to you the same top speed as redline with a 5,000hp modded car with the same gearing.

Also tire sizing plays a factor too. bigger tire lengthens out the gearing a little bit. So if you wanna go a little bit faster in a gear, just drop a larger diameter tire on the car.
