Sweet, what should I look for to come to that decision? Looks like I'm going to be buying a new front and rear along with a new chain. Any recommendations for a new chain? I have the 351 kit ordered and on the way. Any idea of what sprocket combination I should get? I want the bike to be as aggressive as possible. What combo would give me that? And then how can I go from there to gear it a little more from the road.

When the sprocket teeth start getting a hooked shape to them, it's time.

Also looks like you need to keep up on the chain oiling a little more often too. Unless you just cleaned it.

The chain is stretching and hooking the sprocket teeth. So you could surmise you'd need a chain also.

Just look up any threads with the 351 plenty of commentary on gearing from guys who have tried different set-ups. Read and pick the setup that suits your preferences. You might want to define what riding you want to do and speeds you want to be able to achieve.

I'll be doing mostly road riding (back roads) and hop on the high way every once in a while. I want the bike as quick as possible low end and the ability to cruise >60 mph..

I don't know anything about chain length, quality or sprocket quality. Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.
