Here is my 2 cents about acceleration put simply without going into any calculus. With the short gears, between 0 and 110 mph acceleration, the engine spends more of it's time above 5k or higher rpm where there is more power. Hence more force is applied in the given time which results in faster acceleration. An extreme case of the opposite: (Hypatetically) Say the second gear were taller and from 1st to 2nd you ended up at 3500 rpm, then your enging would have to "crawl" through 3500rpm to 5500rpm (loosing all this time) before the good powerband. Thus, increasing that time of acceleration from 0.NSXTASY's point is true on the track where your acceleration and speed is relative to where you are on the track or the track that you are on. Hence, taller gears will work better on higher speed tracks and shorter gears will work better on windy, low speed tracks. It all depends.......
