You can get a Dyna CDI which will extend the rev limit range. This would be effective for all gears. Only thing with adding a rev box is it's recommended to beef up your valve train, springs, valves and chain so it can handle the extra stresses. Dropping to a 38 in the rear should also pull longer in every gear. 1 tooth in the front is about two in the back.

Here.... this will allow you to play with gearing and RPM

If its a money issue,I would just put a 15T in the front. Front's are a hella lot cheaper than the rears.

The farther you move out from the center of the axle the faster it spins. The larger the tire, the faster you go.
