Unless i looked up your user name incorrectly your last ride was an average of 19.5 mph. personally, i would be happy with that. typically mine are around 16-17 but i do climb alot so it slows me down. that is somethign i an working on presently.
i think rubiksoval is right though, the motor is not everything but to think that buying your way faster is not quite right either (although it won't hurt but it will/can be expensive). think about your clothing, your stance on your ride, the mechanical soundness of your ride, your fuel, etc.
and a descent at 38 is nothing to sneeze at. that is typically my top speed going down my local favorite...
