I was just wondering if going to a smaller bottom gear and smaller top gear makes a difference compared to bigger gears but close to same ratio. 20/38 versus 21/40. just wondering if this would help me out racing 660ft.
 

Smaller diameter gears cause more rotating resistance by making the chain turn a tighter corner, you should stay with the larger diamter gears fro better rolling resistance.
