What I really want is a wide ratio gear set for the 5 Speed box.

 It would be nice to bump up a tooth or two on the front sprocket and keep the low first gear ratio.

wide ratio gears?

man , you should try riding a 350 (iron barrel) bike in hilly country , CANT get 4th till on the level , slightest hill droping to 3rd and revving like hell.

when I was using a 350 lump a set of CLOSE ratio gears helped a lot

this raised 1st second and third a bit , but a hell of a less gap between 3rd and 4th ,
