A 460 made 395ft#. A 300 made 265ft#. A 300 needs 5.29 gears to have the same max torque as a 460 with 3.55s. But because of that, it doesn't have much revs to play with and will never keep up.
Yeah, gears do help. Well, lots of closely spaced gears help. Unfortunately the 300-6 and the 460 come with the same transmissions. Even though the peak will look the same with those gears, the effect of them is that the 300-6 will have a very sharply pointed torque curve with respect to the rear wheels and the 460 will have a long, flat one with lots of room to accelerate in each gear.
