Absolutely.
Top speed is limited by engine BHP assuming the gearing is correct. I would
guess that there are some 5 speed cars on 3.9 diffs that will attain a higher
top speed in 4th (assuming a tuned engine that will safely rev to 6,800 rpm
or whatever).

effective rear end ratio, such as by adding an overdrive won't
necessarily raise the car's top speed if the engine can't pull the
gear. Been there, done that.
