So far I have tended to gear the motor more on the torque side so I can get to max speed quicker even if it is slower between turns but I am not sure if that really is the best, just my theory.
Only thing that matters is lap time. So don't worry about if your car is faster/slower on straights than others. Adjust gearing and/or timing and look at your top 5 or top 10 average.
