on a manual to get back to a stock equivilent you'd want 3.55's for 31's, 3.73 for 32's, 3.96 for 33's, 4.10 for 35's, etc....

Never hurts to go the next step lower for a little more umph
Just remember the formula for figuring out what ratio you need.

MPH x GEAR RATIO x 336 / Tire Diameter x Top Transmission Gear Ratio = RPM

70 x 3.55 x 336 / 31 x .79 = 2128 70 x 4.10 x 336 / 35 x .79 = 2177

This is a good formula to know because unlike the charts you can look at all the different ratios at any speed you want.
