Hi Hari,
There is no difference between the principles of shakehand and penhold forehand.
The important part of getting more speed is to generate more racket speed. You can also get the ball moving faster if you hit the ball flatter. However hitting the ball flatter reduces your margin of error.
You should stay with one grip otherwise you are reducing your effective training time.
