I'm trying to grasp what that means and use that to find out how I can increase top end speed.
Does getting the same top speed with a 25 gear inch range mean i'm power limited and my maximum power output only yields 37.5?
Top speed is only one key metric. If you were able to look at your speed over time, you may notice that on smaller gears your speed-endurance may not be as good as on larger gears. Basically, your average speed over the specified distance is probably higher with bigger gears. That's what matters most. Flying (not standing) 200M, 500M, and 1000M times might show this to be true.
