You'll need that tune immediately after the gear swap. Just so you know.

With 33" tires it will probably turn the same rpms as factory size tires with 3.73 gears.
There's a calculator that will tell what you'll turn with gear/tire size.

I ran 33x12.50s and 4.56s and it felt perfect. I destroyed a set of USA standards in about 3 months though.
