Which Gears Are Best For FI?

Which gears are you running? Im running my stock 2SS gears and plan on throwing in a BTR stage 3 PD blower cam setup. Should i stick with the stock gears or change to like a 3.91?

I have same cam.. you be amazed how much it helps w 1le 3.91... In fact I was thinking I made a mistake with the cam choice. It's funny I called BTR and they said no you don't need gears.. technically you don't.. then called back with a question about some callies parts and mentioned I did the 3.91 gears with the cam and they said yall it really wakes it up and helps.

I would say its the best mod i have made yet!
