Modified or not, the facts are the same. The engine will accelerate to red line quicker with lower gearing but will the car will not accelerate harder. F=MA

You dont want lower gearing for roll racing(dead stop drag racing is different), nor do you want to roll race a manual trans against an auto trans, all else equal.

You cant directly compare 2 cars, you have to test the same car, then make changes and retest. All else is benchracing(which can also be enjoyable).
