I'm at work so I can't pull up one of the a/c cfg files, but there's an entry for 'damage' speed and another one for min and max speeds dealing with stall and flaps. Sorry I can't be more specific, but you should be able to locate them. you just need to increase them.

In the aircraft.cfg:

[Reference Speeds]

cruise_speed = 269
(Typical cruise speed of the aircraft in a clean (flaps up) configuration at a typical cruise altitude, (Knots True Airspeed, KTAS)

max_indicated_speed = 304
(Maximum design indicated airspeed. Also referred to as Never Exceed Speed or “Red Line” of the aircraft, (Knots Indicated Airspeed)

max_mach = .56
(Maximum design mach of the aircraft. This generally only applies to turbine airplanes.)

These entries control the overspeed message.
