Changing gearing is great fun .... but.... you are better off increasing the rear sprocket number of teeth.
I have found that 44 teeth on the rear sprocket will give you a fine balance of acceleration and top speed
also reducing the wheelbase by approx 5mm which also make the bike turn better. The main problem I have encountered with changing to a smaller countershaft sprocket is that the chain is making a much tighter arc around the countershaft and this will bugger your chain real quick.
Hope this helps!
