Gearbox ratios I believe are the same on ALL 5.7 variants including the 5.7VXR. But remember the 5.7VXR gets a shorter diff.
The 6.0VXR, IIRC correctly has a slightly lower ratio gearbox, but keeps the taller diff of the CV8.
Having a 3.9 diff in the 6.0l vxr isn't very usable

Only the 5.7 was a hsv, the 6.0 we got wasnt
