It.s all pre.fer.ance. I have -1 infront and can clutch up 1st and 2nd no problem if you do a -1 +2 you should definately get a speedo healer, as not only will your speed be off, your odometer will be greatly affected.

I recommend the RK quick accel kit.It was an easy install. The conversion will screw up your speedo.

I'm only 2 up in the rear, can pull wheelies good and my gas mileage is still average. it won't throw off your speedo by nearly any also.

Not really sure what you mean by "help". You gain low end and lose top end, your speedo will be off, but you can wheelie more easily. The kit is nice because it comes with everything, including the correct length chain. You can get away without buying a chain tool to cut and rivet, but I would recommend just getting the tool and doing it right.
