Script Preparation code:

var times = 500;

var noOverflow = 0,
    overflow = 1;

Tests:

Literal with push
var arr = [], arrSize = times + noOverflow; for (var i = 0; i <= arrSize; i++) { arr.push(1337); }
Constructor() with push
var arr = new Array(), arrSize = times + noOverflow; for (var i = 0; i <= arrSize; i++) { arr.push(1337); }
Constructor(times) with push
var arr = new Array(times), arrSize = times + noOverflow; for (var i = 0; i <= arrSize; i++) { arr.push(1337); }
Literal with index
var arr = [], arrSize = times + noOverflow; for (var i = 0; i <= arrSize; i++) { arr[i] = 1337; }
Constructor() with index
var arr = new Array(), arrSize = times + noOverflow; for (var i = 0; i <= arrSize; i++) { arr[i] = 1337; }
Constructor(times) with index
