No harm in doing a series of timings Smile
The stipulation for 4th gear was that it would be one less variable to account for.
Most of us modify different parts of the car to make it faster, not just the engine and as NoHachi states, acceleration is what matters no matter how you achieve it and we may get some surprising results. Could a relatively stock 16v engine with a light shell be as fast as a 20v in a heavy car ?

So:
30-50 quickest gear
30-50 4th gear
50-75 quickest gear(s) ?
Stating also wheel diameter 13" 15" etc and diff. ratio if known ??
Actually thinking about it I think the diff ratio comparison would be good, sometimes a lower ratio feels faster but in reality, isn't
