If it's got a decent set of deep section wheels AND you can get yourself into a more aerodynamic position compared to your current road bike with clip-ons, then yes it will help to an extent. Is it the difference between 18mph and 20mph? Possibly, depending on how "un-aero" you are now. You still have to pedal hard though.
Don't get too caught up in the 20mph number. Small incremental improvements on the bike and the run will net big time gains!
