How great is our bike of choice if we're now discussing ways to tame the monster a bit?

I realize my cruising RPM will elevate with this, and because the bike is already really powerful I don't want to go to too extreme measures here. How can I make the bike pull harder? Should the front or rear sprocket be swapped, or both? Is one a more difficult endeavor than the other? Same question in regards to price.

to accelerate faster all you need to do is downshift. it is that simple.

For hard street battles I used to go -1 on the front and +3 on the rear. Might be too much on a long ride though. I voted both.

Hard core track tricks:
1. 520 chain conversion -1 & +3
2. remove wheel seals
3. remove chain slider

I'm backing off from this. I was already going 30 or so when I felt it start to kick out from under me; that's good enough!

Thanks for all the information, I ordered my 17 tooth front sprocket last night!
