Agree that the earlier on the track you go WOT will result in higher MPH, all other things being equal.

Disagree that with stop RPM and stop ON time being equal, a car coming off the stop in High gear will have more MPH than the same car coming off the stop in Low, even with the Low gear setup having a longer stop duration and going WOT further down the track.
