Default best sprockets to run?

whats the best ratio to go with? i know that if u change the sprockets too much for acceleration it actually get slower at accelerating at least from what ive noticed from my quad and my friends gsxr that he ordered a ridiculous sprocket kit for. his bike was slow but would do real good wheelies. im running 14/45 on my f2. i noticed a big difference from the 15 tooth to the 14. its kinda hard to pull second gear wheelies tho i do em at about a 30 - 35 roll at 5500 to 6000 rpms, rev up and pop the clutch. it doesnt wanna pick up real easy tho i gotta rev her up to at least 10000 and give it more as i pop the clutch. somtimes i can get right up to the balance point and ride em a long ways other times and most the time it doesnt wanna get up high enough to really ride it. anyway i was thinking of changing the rear sprocket up another tooth or 2 but i want to have the best ratio, basically the best 1/4 mile time ratio. any ideas?

thats -1/0 that you're running. You can run -1/+2 for a bit more gusto.

I'd look into getting a super sprox rear sprocket, but get it in a 530. Power up wheelies on a sport bike are rugged on 520 chains.

i thought 15/43 was stock. anyway i ordered a 13 for the front im gunna see how it works i didnt wanna go bigger in the back and need to get a new chain cuz the one on the bike is brand new. i used gearingcommander.com and it should only drop me 10mph in top speed from where im at now which is right around 150 so 140 isnt too bad. i just dont wanna make the bike slower... meaning 1/4 mile wise.
