Default advice needed please.

Trying to make a decision here.I'm running on an airstrip with a marked quarter mile before taking it to the strip. 383 Lingenfelter 440+/- with as best as I can tell 3.54 rear. here's the problem.In third I'm getting 112/114 @5500 with some road left. I'm also dropping off the power band.If I shift it takes time and costs et's. I'm not expecting miracles as I think I'm getting close to being maxed out but was wondering what would be the result of going to a 2.59 rear? I would still be on the cam in third with no need to shift.With the 3000 stall converter launch wouldn't be significantly changed,second would hold a little longer and so on.Guru's opinions please. Oh,275 40 17's on an '87.it's an auto

Didnt catch if you have an auto or not..2.59 with an auto you may not even hit 3rd. Id take it to a real track and see what happens before you change anything.
