01 SS, Thinkin about gears? big gain or no?

alright, i have an 01 ss. stock rearend with a girdle.
my best et so far is 12.85 @ 113.9 mph, now i know traction is my biggest issue right now. my tires are ****, treadwear of 360. so they are hard as rocks.

im scared to run slicks tho cuz i dont want to blow my rearend. my mods are in my sig, got dynoed so far on a mustang dyno at 407 rwhp.

anyway, how much do you typically gain going from 3.42's to 4.11's in the 1\4 mile?

i know it sounds wierd, but i do more autocross than drag
and i do pretty good too. im thinking with 4.11's it would help me a ****load for the low speed corners, cuz i just leave it in 2nd gear.
