What are you riding?
The rule is smaller front and/or larger rear = more acceleration.
If you really don't care about top speed, get the smallest front and largest rear that is available, but I bet you wont be happy with that set up. It wont be much fun topping out at 30-40mph;)

Get a 36 tooth rear..best bet for a non bored motor for more acceleration..

Stick with the stock front, i put on a 14t and it made not difference except for a slower top speed. My friend was still dead even with me and we have all the same mods and he would stay with me and the pull away.

I had a 40 tooth rear before I did my 440. I really liked that. I found more bottom but it didn't feel like I lots too much top. Running the 14 you'll noticable difference in power, both top and bottom.
