Max Power

I'm fairly new to cycling and just started Zwifting a month ago and been really digging some racing lately. Initially, been running 11-36 with 50-34 (10 speed), but to make things smoother, I opted for a 12-30 cassette.
Before, I would run the race in 13-50 and floor it 600m out in 11-50... maxing out at about 850 watts.
Now, for obvious reasons, my 12-50 isn't as fast and the emphasis is on higher rpm. But even with that, I'm noticing that i can barely scratch 800. Practice makes better, but from what I've noticed my highest output tends to be in a higher gear/lower rpm.
So I'm curious, where do you usually find your max power? (on a flat).

In retrospect, I wish I would have gotten an 11-28, but I didn't think it would fit my medium GS cage... and only later found out that it would.
