By increasing the size of the engine sprocket it will take FEWER engine revs to go through a set number of links on the chain. The sprocket you want to increase is the REAR sprocket so that the engine will need to complete more revs to turn the rear axle. thus gearing the quad down.
You're right. I simply made a mistake. I'm aware that increasing the front sprocket size will increase top end speed and decrease low end power.

This thread is three years old, and you're not likely to get responses from the OP.
