The bike frame is far down the list of things you should be addressing to gain speed.

A few items that will help:
  1. Optimize your position on your existing bike. Get as low as possible.
  2. Get decent tires and tubes.
  3. Use tight fitting clothes. Nothing flapping in the wind
Each of the above items can be worth 10-20W. Once you've addressed the above work on staying out of the wind when riding in group. Plenty of free speed when drafting others.
