Isn't the maximum level speed shortly after a dive the same as after a acceleration by engine power alone? Once the acceleration induced by the dive is gone the drag will decelerate the aircraft to the same speed.
Of course it will take time to accelerate by engine power and it will take time to decelerate once the dive ended, but luckily we can disable the heat effect and fly unlimited at full power to do the speed tests.
