No **** lol. That doesn't make any sense. Gears with a cam car will keep you in the powerband better no matter from a stop or from a roll. Especially for a manual.

Well for starters I said gears does'nt matter that much.....not does'nt matter at all. So before you gear homo's get your panties bunched up I'll tell ya.
As some of you know I used to work for a pro rr team. We had a program the you could put you hp/tq figures in to simulate acceleration of the cars. We used Hewland boxes then and could change each gear individually. One day we plugged my numbers in from my car. We did 3.42 vs 4.10 from 0-160 or so. As expected from a stop the 4.10 accelerated better, it's no secret that a gears mutiply tq. You need tq the most when your at a stop to get moving. Both gears got to 150mph in the same time by the simulater......that means that after the car got moving at some point the 3.42 out accelerated the 4.10.
I've changed to a taller gear in my cars 2 times in my life, both times the car went faster than the gear that "everyone" recommended. It should also be known that the shorter the gear the more power it will use and the more heat it will generate. When your splitting hairs to try to make a stock engine with bolt-ons go like I am...this **** matters.
Most drag guys throw gear at it and 28" tires and go racing....and use up some good power doing so.

. Gears WILL 100% make the car faster everywhere (except top end maybe) in these 6-speed cars with a bigger cam.

From checkin out your sig you could use a little help in the speed department.....or you can keep buying parts that are'nt getting it done and mail order tunes....and I'm the dumb one. Working on a championship ALMS team teaches NOTHING.
