What would be the best gearing for dragging? Longer gears with a bigger final drive? or shorter gears with bigger final drive?

I've been told.. the best would be to get longer gears with a bigger final drive. That way, you shift less and you have tighter gears..

So what do you guys think? Oh mind you this is for an ALL MOTOR H22. Currently running a JDM LSD tranny. Thanks.

longer gears = slower acceleration... yes, you would be boosting longer, BUT, it's gonna take longer to get there

 

U want to cross the finish line just as U hit red line in 4th gear. This is optimal. What ratio is that? Don't ask me

 

Actually, that's what I'm at as it stands with the LSD tranny
