Default 1/8 mile gear only

I've got a guestion about rear gears. I have a 85 camaro 2500# 434- 665 HP powerglide 1.76 - 9'' 514 gear -32x14'' tires runs 9.70 @140 mph in the 1/4 and 6.20 112mph in the 1/8 with 1.43 60' if I wanted to just run 1/8 mile could I change the gear ratio to a 5.40 or lower and get better 1/8 mile times.
I had a 69 chevell 2900# 675hp 421 and I used a 5.36 a 4.88 and a 4.56 with 29x11.5 tires and it always ran 6.50 1/8 with all 3 gears I never figured that out. I just got me a new car.
I'm still trying to learn so any help would be Thankful.
Andy
