This would explain why you tend to accelerate faster with a higher FD.

Its physics.
W=f*d
Where f is Force and D is Distance.
Where the wheel spin is the W.
More teeth = less force but more distance traveled to produce the same amount of Work.
To go the same speed, your engine needs to spin faster with a gear that has more teeth......
I really don't understand the confusion. Your wheels are not bolted on your crankshaft.....
