Your Chevy's 6L80e transmission has a 4:03 1st gear + 3:08= 7:11 total. The ZF 8spd has 4:71 1st gear + 3.21= 7:92. That being said your Ram with 3:21's should pull circles around the Chevy.
Long standing bone of contention with GM by both Silverado and Sierra owners, why did GM put 3.08 gears in a truck with two overdrive gears in the trans. The 6.2L come with a 3.23. 5.3 comes with a 3.08 unless the order sheet is checked off for a 3.42 gear. TO make matters worse, the 3.08 carrier only accepts 3.08 gears. For what I do with my Ram 3.21'a are fine, 3.55's would have been better, but not a deal breaker. Can't really say I'd need 3.92's with the 8 speed.
