I am having a fuddle 3500/2.1 and a F13 cam put in soon. Right now I have the stock 3.23 gears. What would you recommend upgrading too for a 99% daily driver who doesn't want top speed to drop below 150?

I would keep the 3.23's and see how you like your new combo first. Then if it feels too loose for you, I would go to 3.73's. But be prepared for traction issues and higher freeway rpms (2800@80mph).

Thanks for the advice, Ill keep the 3.23s for now and see how it feels. Im looking at some 315 nitto 555r you think I will be able to get any traction with this setup?
