Top speed can be above max power

However, it will start to take longer to get those last few kph. At a certain speed the power will have dropped off to an equilibrium point where it is just enough to maintain the speed you're travelling at. That will be your top speed unless you start cheating by going downhill.
If you're concerned that the speedo may not be accurate at that end of the scale, read the speed at 2900 RPM and double it for 5800 RPM, assuming you are confident about the rev counter's accuracy and you know the transmisson is in 4th gear.
Top speed in my manual Aero is supposed to be 150 MPH (240KPH), but my speedo only goes up to 140, so how would I know? Then again, if I was travelling that fast, the last thing I'd be staring at would be the speedo!
