    Is there a way to estimate how much a gearing change will change acceleration?

     



    On my road car, I'm debating going from 2.47 to 2.88:1 rear end (4 speeds, no overdrive), but I'm wondering if it's even worth the trouble. Is there a way to estimate by how much it will change acceleration? Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I posted here thinking in terms of 1/4 mile trap times.
