wondering about chain and sprocket gearing

There is no optimal gearing. It's what you want out of your gearing that makes it more suited to a particular end result or not.

So I am not happy with the stock gearing at all. I believe it is way too tall. When I was at Willow Springs, I NEVER saw 6th and only used 5th for a second at around 145mph at the end of the main straight. So if I use a 15/49, it is practically the same as 14/46. So I guess my question is, are there any advantages or disadvantages to such a small from sprocket. Like, will a small front sprocket wear out chains faster? I mean, I know it is minor, but if I do go with the 14/46, it is a little lighter than a 15/49.
