yes that would help a great deal with both TQ and HP. you could always put some gears in the back that always adds good TQ

do gears acctually ADD TQ!? if im not horribly mistaken i thought they got the power to the ground quicker at lower speeds (depending on what kinda gears) but didnt think they ADDED any actually HP or TQ numbers. correct me if im wrong, please.

Gears increase the torque advantage of the engine, allowing it to put more torque to the ground. That said, it will not add any numbers to your dyno chart...more likely, it will actually decrease the power a little due to the higher friction.
