Go for the DID upgrade kit, gold and black chain which not only looks nice but lasts a long long time, they're about £85 with the sprockets, although there are several suppliers on eBay all the uk based ones are fine to use.
There's very little point going up on the front, in order to change gearing people normally adjust both sprockets, I'm currently one down on the back just because the rear wheel came off my thundercat and the difference is not noticeable. (I understand one tooth on back compared to one on the front would be a bigger ratio!)
But what are you honestly trying to achieve? Fuel consumption would be neglagable, and where are you going to use the 2/3 mph extra top speed?
If you do change both sprockets then its going to be more like starting off from traffic lights in 2nd gear!
