Default how much trap speed are gears worth??

pretty simple question but i bet its a bit loaded but how much trap speed are you looking to gain in a stock LS3 if you go from 3.45 gears to 4.10's??

Run a gear calc, go to the rear end section, FAQ and go from there.

Def the question seems loaded and to be honest most can only put it in terms of an FBody, given we know the race weights and suspension could affect things, also what transmission does the car have.

A bit too many factors IMO. BUT also that the car should be faster. How much, too many varibles.
