Isn't the best thing to regear the diff numerically higher, run the tallest & widest tire possible, nearing redline in 4th gear at the expected trap speed? Leaving nothing on the table.

Or I guess with enough power it might be better to near redline in 3rd at the trap speed. Right?

My line of thinking, you don't want to waste time shifting right before you finish. And it's best to use the gearing to the cars advantage, up until you make enough power to waste the short gearing. But I don't think we're in that range.
