you could try changing the gearing if you want and you will definitely be able to do 2nd gear wheeliie with different gear ratios for more low end power but of course you lose top speed but if you dont want to sacrifice that just do what sprinklz said just go full stage 1 get a performance exhaust, K&N filter, rejett, and instead of taking your airbox lid off i would suggest using uni air box vents Dirt Bike UNI Air Box Vents - 6 Pack | MotoSport comes with 6 and they are about 1 inch in diameter ive heard they help a lot with more air flow but dont let more dirt in.Its definitely safer than drilling holes in your airbox or just taking the lid off. Good luck

you add/remove a tooth on the drive sprocket

and/or add/remove a few teeth on the rear sprocket

thats how you alter your final drive ratio

more teeth on the front ups your top speed at loss of tourqe and visaversa

more teeth on the rear ups your tourqe at the loss of top speed and visaversa

larger tires does the same as more teeth on the front sprocket

and smaller tires does the same as more teeth on the rear sprocket
