Never mind. I got it to go higher by revving the engine higher.

LOD in this car appears to be showing a percentage of some theoretical max power estimate based on displacement and air consumption.

What I was expecting to see was "100%" LOD with my foot to the floor regardless of engine speed. But it'll apparently only show "100%" when I've got it wound out to 5500 RPM or wherever this motor makes its max HP or torque.
