lol its not hard to change sprokets at all and u cant get gears that give you both top end and bottom end
if you want bottom end get smaller gears top end larger gears
you can get a tourque stuffer from albaaction.com and then larger gears and that will give you both

I think what the post above is trying to say: less teeth on the front sprocket will increase your acceleration. more teeth in the front will increase your top speed....But it is not going to be possible to increase both with just sprockets.

With the mods you have...I would not want to go bigger in the front....you will loose too much top end. So I would say to either stay stock or loose one tooth up front and gain a bit a low end.

When we used to own Blasters, we took a different approach. The default gearing on
a Blaster is 13/40, the same as a Raptor 660. Since we trail ride in some really rough,
rocky stuff, we went up on the back from 21" to 22" tires. This gave us another 1/2"
of ground clearance as well as the desired gearing we were looking for. So, we got
a two-for-one deal!

imo, the best mod is having the engine ported and getting a pipe to compliment the porting.

Setting up for low end or top end is going to depend what kind of riding you plan to do. If you do a lot of tight twisty forest trails you will probably want to set it for low-mid range power, if you run the dunes or wide open spaces set it up more for top end power.
