What do gears do for trap speed?

I have an N/A heads cam 6 speed car. Right now i have my stock rear with 3.42's in it. I just got my Fab 9" delivered friday, which has 4.11 gears. I realize taller gears are meant to get you down the track quicker, but do they affect mph much? Will I gain +1 or 2 mph or even more, or see no difference at all?

I would assume that would depend on how the geras would affect your power band. I would also assume you would pick up something in your case.
