I got a 2.73 in a streetrod and I don't particularly like it, sure wouldn't want it a drag car.

For TH 400 with a 1.48:1 second gear and 26" tires, at 6800 rpm you are at 130 mph. With a 1.57 second gear you are at 122 mph. Something is slipping or the tires is a spinning. The gears will help tire spin if that's it.
