I need something different. Quite frankly, I dont care which way, as I'm currently bouncing off the rev limiter about 150ft before brake points at half the turns. So a little bit taller would be fine, or a good bit shorter. I'm willing to bet the extra shift with shorter gears will offset the the extra gearing from a shorter ratio, so I doubt there's much performance either way.
What size tires you on? If on 245/40-17, you might try 235/45-17. Not a huge change, would be like going from 4.1 to 3.97. Small step in the right direction anyway, made a noticeable difference for me at NHMS South Oval last year where I was in same situation as you for both before T1 into the oval, and also before T3. Running reverse stagger 245/40-17 fronts with 235/45-17 rears was a big improvement! This year I was on 245s all around and believe it was costing me a few tenths to half a second
