LouisB:it will be plent of extra punch as all the centrifical force will be going forward only at all times, not to mention the extra weight you will lose when pulling out all those uneeded gears from the tranny!!!! You should use some heavy weight shock oil, not too heavy if you have jumps though other wise you will be bouncin' like Tigger !!! Get some better shocks as well if you can afford it!!!! Also a Pro-Line suspension kit a MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!
