Default 33's to 35's?

Hey guys am running 33 inch tires on a 2.5 TF BB... i have a 6sp and i want to upgrade gears.. however, im thinking to go up to 35's then regear once and for all.. but i dnt want to loose performance in the desert (hence i live in dubai) moving up to 35's... i also plann on chopping my fenders so noone says 35's and 2.5 BB is no good.. what do u guys think stick with 33's or go to 35's and regear? which will outperform!?

Yeah, 5.13's will give you more power, 4.88 would get you back to stock with 35's.
