Gearing and shifting 4 speed at the track

With the stroker I didn't see a major difference in E.T. between the two gears. I did feel a major difference in driveability. Although I found that as well with a cam change. The stroker doesn't need those 4: 10 gears for around town whatsoever.
I usually set my shift light to go off at 58 to 62 but it also depends on where the other person is. If it's a Ford in the other lane pulling on me f that damn blue light!
At that point I depend on the rev limiter to do its job... At 72...pop.pop.pop... SHIFT!!


What about MPH when you went to the taller gears? Did it go up or down? Surely you had to cross at a much lower RPM with the 3.54 gear.
