I understand why your gearing uses the turbos power more efficiently, but that is a big jump in gearing and should have really slowed down the car. I'm not sure which ratio would be faster, but your setup does seem like the best, since you get the extra top speed and better use of the turbo.
with shorter gearing you can't even build up boost. As soon as you boost you have to shift. With the longer gearing the power is smoother. I am working on a video right now and hopefully will have it ready by tonight so you have an idea how the gearing works.
