Hey, so I'm sure this has probably been asked before but I couldn't seem to find an answer. I'm on 3.1.2 and I did jailbreak, but I was wondering what would happen if I upgraded to a new software without restoring my phone. Will it completely screw up my phone?

that's a complicated answer

Well it's a complicated answer because it depends what you want to do after you do the upgrade. If you upgrade with OEM 3.1.3 it will remove your JB and JB apps and settings. You can then JB with Spirit but it will also upgrade your baseband which might be a consideration depending on whether you unlock your phone or intend to unlock your phone. I've been out of the JB loop for awhile so I might be a little fuzzy on things I'm sure someone will either correct or point you in the right direction.
