What gears for a 88 kit?

I just got my 88cc Kitaco kit last week and its friggin awesome. Definitely worth the money! I just gas it in 2nd and the front is air-born.

Anyway, the stock gearing for the fiddy raps out the engine to fast. I was wondering what gears you guys are running for more top speed using a 88cc kit. A local Honda shop told me to go up 1 in the front. He said going up 1 in the front would be the same as going down 3 in the back. Is this true? I think the extra tooth in the front would cause the chain to wear out quicker.

Any Help!?

weedracer is a decent person
going up one tooth in the front is the same as going down 3 teeth in the back the chain will wear the same
you should look into a rev box and put either 60 or 62 main jet to help out with top speed then your bike will rev to the moon

I went with a 35 rear sprocket and it still needs more. I was gonna go one up in the front but I traded my fiddy for a ysr. Time to hit the corners..hehehe atleast its still a fiddy.
