I'm not sure if I'm correctly understanding what you've written above
about "5th and 6th gear roll ons" Jack, but it would be quite unusual to
top out at the same speed in both gears.  My experience with a number of
vehicles has been that there isn't enough torque available in the tallest
gear to overcome wind resistance - top speeds are generally gained in 5th
(of 6 speeds) or 4th (of 5 speeds).
