When I went to a 14, I justed tightend up the free play. I don't know if that is a links worth of slack though. I would just order the stock length. I don't know if thats right, but that is what I would do. After the chain stretches, I might be at the end of the adjustment.

yeaup just buy the stock length and adjust it properly, 1 tooth doesnt make much diff, if u go too short or too long it can cause problems like bent sprocket shaft/ cracked case around coutnershaft sprocket, too long the chain could actually slip under hard acceleration or come off and jam up
