From this I would think you need to do more speed work. Keep at the group rides and the speed will come. Do what you can and let go when you have to, but keep at it.

You could also add a sprint day once a week when you're recovered and fresh.

Of course, getting more aero will help, but if you're fine on the climbs with your group, it's probably more a conditioning for speed issue.
