Then again, it has much better tires now so I would have to run it with the 2.73 and 3.55 again with the same tires. it was traction challenged and could run 11 flat.

Also, I googled if others had the same and the Roadkill guys went with a taller rear to be quicker, but that was with an auto.
I'm definitely no expert, but I would be surprised if it hurt your 1/4 mile unless it really kills your off the line traction or you redline top gear before you reach the traps. I could certainly see it harming a 0-60 if it caused an extra shift. I know that sometimes gearing can cause a problem if you are at a shift point very close to the traps.
