Ben think of all gears as levers arrayed in a circle. We're 'spossed to write the ratios like 4.06:1 so the lever ratio is clear 4.06 TO one.
Trying to finger out what sorta change it would bring, substituting a bigger lever for a short one is easy division. You'd be just 6.28% shorter geared, and NOT WORTH IT. Granted your tires have doubtless geared ya UP that much at least so yeah youse could be back where a stock car is but dammit you gonna yard the trannie and have er open then find something usefull shroter, something that would at least leave you 20% shorter than stock taking tire overall diameter into account.
