For 1/4 mile I will still bet, two cars, stock for stock, one w/ 4: 10 or lower gear (shorter gear (higher #) ) will be faster in the 1/4 mile. Shit, the OP was looking for best bang for the buck to increase torque?? And you still would spend 3x amount for a pulley?? OK, good advice.
Too bad dynos can not simulate an actual 1/4 mi run through the gears...

Have all of the hunches you want about which car will win. You can have your hunch, it is worth about as much as your opinion. I'll stick with physics over your opinion anyday. Again, just like above, the burden of proof lies with you. And since you don't get the whole statistics and variability thing yet prood requires multiple runs, under identical conditions with the SAME car. The results are simply too close to call without this type of methodology.

And I guess you meant quicker, not faster. Either way it would be a wash.

As the late Carl Sagan used to say, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinar evidence". You sir at this point have absolutely JACK.

Great humor, great sarcasm.... uhhh not. If you are really interested in my sex life you really have bigger problems.
