Default Front Sprocket Feedback Requested

I was informed by a fairly experienced rider that coming down one tooth on my GSXR's front sprocket will allow me to reach the power band quicker (8000rpms+) and not in a crazy unsafe manner. I'm not looking for wheelie magic. What I am looking for is to reduce the downshifting (I'm thinking impossible with a 600) and a quicker out-of-the-hole-time.

What do you guys have to say about a 1 tooth difference on the front sprocket?
