Question on higher rpm gains

OldmanRick said
If i recall correctly, you went to a 1.80 1st with this combo. Do you think going back to the 2+ first would get you into the lower range of the power band faster? Just curious, you'd know better then i would. :)

My thought process on this was it may bump your 330' a bit and add a few rpm's at the top?

Different engine combo but basically the same ET my old 422 would sixty foot at 1.32-1.33 with a stock 1.76 low gear. With the 1.98 a 1.25 was the best sixty foot but usually around 1.27 but the 1/8 mile ET was the same with both gears. Now with the new 1.80 it’s 1.30-1.31 and a much calmer leave.
