Turbo bike gearing

While I'm preparing for this new build, another thing that comes to mind is gearing. I have an 09 Busa. Is the gearing for a turbo bike different from that of a n/a bike? I'm presently at 18/45. Do I need to go shopping for a new set of sprockets or is that a good starting point? What is the usual quarter mile gearing for turbo bikes? What do PST guys use? And will aluminum sprockets hold up to that amount of power with my weight(243 lbs)?
 
if its gana sit around 500hp go with a bigger front to avoid stripping it. maybe 19/48? you would have to find the right gearing to hit its limit at 1/4 mark and work it out around expected trap speed.
 
well, then id be careful how u gear it unless u want to be a 6k rpm's cruisn down the highway. 18/42-43 is a better street / track gear imo.
