I think this may be better in the road car forum.

Road car, although I doubt anyone would be able to give such specific technical advice...

Have you checked to make sure that one of the cams is not installed one tooth off? Changing to lighter gears should only affect the speed at which the engine accelerates due to less rotating mass. If you have one of the cams slightly off, all the benefits would be lost due to the valve timing being off. Just a thought. Robert

It definately sounds like a timing issue.
