Scott, Yes increasing you speed is easy, but you will decrease your power by doing so. If speed is increased too much the power loss will be noticable. You can increase the speed by replacing the driven pulley (the one on the transmission) with a smaller diameter pulley. Or by replacing the drive pulley (the one on the engine) with a larger diameter pulley. Remember by decreasing or increasing the size of a pulley or sprocket on any shaft changes the leverage on the shaft. it is like putting a pipe on a ratchet to loosen a bolt. The longer the pipe makes it easier to loosen the bolt. But if you were the bolt trying to hold the ratchet up, with a pipe on it, it would get harder to hold up, the longer the pipe was. Basicly the longer the pipe or diameter of the pulley changes the torgue on the shaft. this is why it will decrease your power if you increase your speed. hope this makes sense to you. John
