Changing the gear when you have a large stroke engine like yours won't gain ET. The engine doesn't know it's running 1/8th mile and you run the risk of making the launch unmagaeable. However you will accelerate engine wear. Small blocks are a differnet story altogether, which is where this myth came from.
