Question Dilemna: seriously increased power, but not MPH?!

I am really having a hard time with this.

A year and a half ago, I was making 320 rwhp and trapping in the 115-118 range.

I then upped the power to 351 ..... then again to 377 and now we rocketed up to 440, but my traps are still in the 115-118 range.

I am on the same tracks, car has not changed weight or gearing.
My ETs are great for mph and my 60's are through the roof so I know my driving is right on.

so how can my mph not be increasing with my horsepower??

Other MR2s with the 440-444 range are trapping 121-127 mph at much higher elevqations than I am racing at.

Any thoughts?

Why am I making the power on the dyno, but not the strip?
