If you are not already doing so, consider practice with a .38 to .46 mm thick pick to develop the speed and technique and then get thicker as needed or desired. I've been playing almost 4 years and I hit a wall at 150 bpm with 8th note strumming. I keep working at it, it will come. I use a .46 to .60 mm thick pick for this practice.
