I guess I will ask since no one else did, if that truck was "on" the limiter at the end of the track would it POSSIBLY be just as quick or quicker with 3.31's ???

Not necessarily if that truck was *on* it's speed limiter. Rev limiter, yes; it would need a slightly taller effective final drive. A 1" bump in tire dia on our trucks is worth roughly .125 gear...

depending on how fast you accelerate with the 331’s vs the 3.73’s. The 373’s and limiter may still be faster

What I was getting at is that with TC you are only going to get so much to the rear wheels anyway, the slightly taller gear may let it run out a bit more? I have 305/22's on mine with a 3.15 and it still gets out pretty good. 2014 5.0
That and I have looked hard into a RCSB 5.0 for this very reason, but you cant get the 3.55 gear without the tow package= more weight.
