What Back and Front Tooth Ratio is Fastest???

What's a good back:front tooth ratio and gear stepping system from standstill to top speed on road bikes?
I have seen that some riders are taking road bikes up to 40+ mph. I'm just looking for the 30+ mph range on the road, and I'm not looking for expensive produce or parts. I don't care how old or what it looks like to be honest as long as it stays together, handles, and gets to top speed rapidly.
Some back:front gear ratios are better than others, right? I'm messing with two bikes right now which are just older road bikes that have mountain and cruiser features. They're just fun and project bikes. I noted on the second one I bought yesterday that it was going much faster with very minimal effort compared to what the first one could do without much more effort. The first one is 21spd and the second, faster one is 18spd, however I don't believe the number of sprocks but the number of teeth matters.
