Any guys running low gear sets with strokers?

Just curious where the point is that a low gear set might make car ET better, as mine is fairly heavy and currently hooks anywhere.
Experiences , thoughts?
I have considered it with my 418" small block because my car is 3580 lbs with driver. But my reasoning was a little different. The car leaves hard 1.416 60ft, [email protected] but was running out of gear with a 4.10. I was going to use my low gear set to keep the SLR similar but put a 3.73 gear in to help get it out the back.

Instead of that plan I changed cams to get some RPM. The new cam runs the 1/8th mile the same but doesn't run out the back :(. Exactly opposite of what downsides I thought the new cam could bring(welcome to drag racing)
