Ok so this may be a question that actually means something lol, but here it is:
If i bought and fully tricked out my bike (KDX 220R 2005) with a Gnarly, and Turbinecore II, and got the proper jetting etc...what would happen to my power in the top end if i put a BIGGER back sprocket on?
Would i lose some topend and gain even more torque and bottomend grunt, would the bigger sprocket just counteract the pipe and reneder the ungrade usless on both ends? Does anybody know?
Chain sprocket question...

Yes... any ratio change makes a difference. It will give it more bottomend and you will lose topend.
Just think of any machinery that has gear reduction... it give the machinery more torque.

You ever ride a bicycle before? changing gears didn't make yer legs any stronger or weaker did it? of course not. Same thing with a dirt bike, the "power" is constant. Changing the gear ratio determines whether the bike is gonna have higher top speed or climb hills better. Think up a better question next time. sheesh.
