I don't know enough about mechanics to give you a break down. But I have 3.92's. 1st gear is a granny gear and super low. I only use it when a boat. Most people get 3.55's or 3.92's. 3.55's are less jerky.

The axle ratio is like a mechanical leverage factor. The higher the number(lower ratio) the better acceleration and pulling power. It is also better for bigger tires. A lower number(higher ratio) is better for mileage and highway cruising. These are usually better for smaller tires. A low ratio taxes the engine at high speed which is why sometimes you see a car or truck sounding like it is running hard but going slower than other traffic.Drag cars use a ratio such as 4.11, 4.56, or 4.88 because they need to get the best acceleration possible.

The expressed rear end ratios represent the number of times the drive shaft must turn in order for the rear wheel to turn one revolution.
