Isn't you're quad already fast with those mods?? What are you trying to accomplish anyway?? I would not change more than a few teeth...maybe 4 teeth tops. If you go up one tooth on the front and down 2-3 teeth on the back, it'll make a big difference....maybe 7-9 mph depending on your motor. But be careful. You might make your quad a wimp a low speeds unless you got the power to absorb the loss. An engine has only so much power to spread around....especially smaller 2 strokes which lack the torque of bigger bore engines.

But hey, if all you do is race people down the road, go ahead. But if you actually RIDE your quad offroad (what an idea!!), I'd be careful.

I run 14/40 and im really happy with it, good bottom end, but yet it tops out mid to high 60's plenty fast enough for normal trail riding.
with the stocker tires, fully inflated, 14/40 gearing, and just an fmf pipe, ive seen a blaster do 72 mph, lots of ppl dont believe me, but its true.

I put a 14 tooth up front i was really happy with that. I think it is if you drop 1 tooth up front it is like dropping 3 1/2 off the back correct? So, i would advise you to play around with it first before you go buy new front and rears.
