Default Longer gears

With taller gear ratios, will my acceleration suffer any? Im guessing in a 1/4 mile race, I'd probably have a lower trap speed and possibly a slower ET if I switched to longer gears. Is the only benefit to doing that, to get better top or high end speed like if I was racing a mile or more?
