I am a bit confused...I thought the main (perceived) effect from going numerically higher in gear ratio was to get moving off the line faster?

I understand the idea of faster because you shift less with the 3.23s, it just seems to me that 4.11 gears would get you moving fast enough to take up the slack for the added shift.

My SSS moves out a whole lot faster than my 02 Z71.

Can someone explain?
