The argument over the years is that a ratio is a ratio.Actually, if the gear ratio is the same, there is no mechanical advantage whether you have a 10 tooth or 15 tooth on the engine. 10/40, and 15/60 are both 4.0 – 1 ratio. Where's the mechanical advantage?
Wikipedia has a good explanation of what the term "mechanical advantage" means.

There was a rule in place for years that limited the stocker guys on how low a rear gear we could use, that has changed.
