Q400 performances

Hi guys,
I am Flying the ATR 72-500 .
Quiet and sweet but still sluggish.
Just was wondering about the rate of climb Q400 were getting at MTOW, typical cruising levels and time to get there, TAS in cruise that kind of stuff.
With the amount of power, it must quite impressive.
Are you limited to 250 Kts IAS and FL250 ?
I am still amazed by the poor rate of climb on the ATR a few 1oo´s FPM above FL140.
Thanks for all the infos,
cheers.
