You really need to fix this screw next. You take a chance on 
damaging something if you try to run an engine hard (in any gear) 
with a valve misadjusted. The worse it is adjusted the more 
difference it will make to the performance and the more easily it 
would be to damage something.

Fix it, THEN redo your speed tests.

BTW, if you have the pedal floored at 45 you should NOT expect 
the tranny to shift.
