Gears vs FI

So, I've read guys generally stay away from taller gears when going FI. Like 3.91's or 4.10's. I have 3.91's, btw. I'd like to understand more about the reasoning for it. Is it more about high...

Tell ya what. I'll putt around in mine later today and see how it acts. In my case, though, I've got a stock motor with headers, intake, tune, and 3.91 gears.

I just looked at the video. Honestly, I'd say a lot of that is your driving style. You're lugging it. Stick doesn't like that low of RPM. Lower gears and wind them out as Jewel mentioned.
