Something else to consider is if you go with more teeth, & that means a  
larger sprocket also, you will need to lengthen ur chain.  
If you go to a smaller counter shaft (front) sprocket all you need to do  
is adjust the chain you have.  
I used to race a 250 Suzuki X-6 hustler & had an 11, 12, 13 14 & 15 tooth  
counter shaft sprockets & I could change from a hill climber to a road  
racer in a matter of minuets & just adjust the chain.  
Depending upon how radical you want to go one tooth makes quite a  
difference. All bikes have a different ratio but for my Suzuki one tooth  
on the front was equal to 11 on the rear if I remember right, that was a  
LONG time ago.

You already have two correct . The more teeth on the rear, the

more revolutions or chain links to make a single revolution of the wheel.

More teeth = more power on the rear (larger sprocket)

A bigger rear or smaller front will give more take-off power.

A bigger front or smaller rear will give you more top-end speed.
