Default 4:10's, what would you compare the increase in acceleration to?

I'm bored at work again, hence the trivial question

If 4:10 gears were an engine mod that boosted hp/tq, what would you say the difference in acceleration is akin to? Hp/tq numbers or just comparable mods are both good answers.

Thanks for any input!

Infinity bajillion horsepeowerz and +3 ft/lbs torque!

For the 99, I'm guessing the 4.10s felt like adding another 50 hp/60 ft lbs torque. Fourth gear pulled like third gear did previously with the stock gears (also to note: 4th tops out at roughly what 3rd topped out at).

Man that is tough to say, I feel like 4.10's added a faster feel than any other mods I did, which include cams. I think to feel like I gained that much acceleration again I'd need to supercharge the car.
