You want to go faster and wonder if it will cost you more power?
Put it this way.
Why do you think the fastest cars are the most powerful? (not necessarily viceversa).
Changing the gearing might help reduce the power drain on acceleration but you will have to accelerate for longer.
Ultimately speed is hard to achieve and maintain and the price paid is power (energy) consumed.
