If the carb runs good enough at your elevation, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're not going to be towing or hauling anything slow, the stock gearing should be ok for you.

I drag a cart around the property and never leave first gear so the gearing was important to me. I needed slow speed pulling power more than fun trail riding speed.

Regarding the engine mods, I did them all because for one, I can't leave well-enough-alone ands two, the carb was definitely not working right for me.....plus I had an extra FMF Turbine Core 2 laying around so it was begging to be mounted.
