The ratio is quite simply the large tooth number divided by the small tooth number.
Therefore the ratio was 4.30 to one
The replacement is 3.909 to one
My list shows that's from a grand vitara xl7 2L

It would make it slightly faster for the same rpm, but the problem would be when in 4wd as the front and rear axles won't be the same.
Wish I had better news
