They are talking about the differential, the third member, the part that takes the rotations from your crank shaft that has been moved through your transmission along to your drive shaft.

At the dif. those rotations make a 90 degree turn so the wheels can push you forward instead of sidewards.

They are talking about a different gear ratio which would limit, potentially the top speed, but would accelerate much quicker.

Think of a lever. If you move the fulcrum closer to the weight it is easier to lift the weight. Higer gear ratio 4.11:1 as opposed to 3.54:1 will accelerate faster with the same hp/torque.

Does that make it any clearer?
