Paul,
A 3.77 will change the engine speed by -10.66351% in every gear
((3.77/4.22)-1)x100.
The overall gear ratios with a 4.22 are 9.4106, 6.2034, 4.3888, 3.57012,
2.9751.
The overall gear ratios with a 3.77 are 8.4071, 5.5419, 39208, 3.18942,
2.65785.
This assumes stock ZF ratios of 2.23, 1.47,1.04, 0.846, 0.705.
For the same red line engine rpm, the 3.77 will go about 11% faster in each
gear with about 11% less acceleration. Looking at another way, for a fixed
road speed the engine will run 11% lower rpm.
Have fun,
SOBill Taylor
