Default Robin Hood 2b not reaching top speed.

Hi, I own a Robin Hood 2b with a 2.0l pinto engine running twin dellorto 40mm DHLA carbs. I recently had it rolling road tuned and was getting around 120bhp when it was tuned a fan was placed in front of the car to cool it and simulate some degree of wind. I have recently experienced an issue with it that I cannot seem to fix. At 80mph in 5th gear I cannot pass 3000 Rpm subsequently not being able to pull anymore speed the car used to go a lot faster. Can anyone offer any suggestion of where to start looking.

It won't go past 80 in any gear, but it will go past 3000 rpm it's the 80mph that seems to be the constant. Any ideas :S
