You don't gain horsepower you just loose less to the gearbox. Befor the bret trans that everybody is using now came out(talking about dirt latemodels) we would take a 4speed trans and remove 1st and second. you would restart in 3rd and shift to 4th. 4th is 1 to 1 and uses the least amount of gears. at the time it was clamed that runing 1 to 1 would free up about 50 hp compared to any other combo.
