Ok, by "shorter" it means that the final drive would have a BIGGER number, and vice versa for "taller".
For example: 3.08 is taller than 3.43. If the gears stayed the same, but you changed the final drive from 3.08 to 3.43, going shorter, accel would increase and top speed would decrease.
If you left the final drive alone, but you changed 2nd gear to be 'taller', you'd go from let's say 2.32 to 2.11. Accel decreases and top speed increases.
Please explain what your argument is standing on?
Maybe I misunderstood.
