It's up to you really. If you're happy to sacrifice a little top end for more acceleration then go for it. For a 748 I would add teeth to the rear sprocket, go up 2 or 3 and you'll notice the difference I think. If you want a big difference add more but there are implications on your ride height so if you do it yourself make sure you measure your ride height before you start goofing around and set it back to that when you're done.

My 996 standard is 15/36 - I went to 14/36 and now I'm going to 14/39

I don't use the top end anywhere so I'd rather have the seat of the pants acceleration.
