So if I install some 4.08 gears I should still benefit from ~10% acceleration increase correct? I was told it wouldnt make much of a difference once the tires were in place.

Your actual speed will be 1.5% faster than what the speedometer reads.

4.08 gears = ~10% more aggressive than 3.7 gears, but not necessarily 10% faster acceleration.

Stop speculating and just get the gears installed.
