A couple are using 17/50, some are using 16T CS only, stock rear. I've got a 49T rear on mine, roughly the same % change as you.

how much shifting do you want to do
I didn't like 18/46 (3rd gear thru traps); i liked 17/46 alot (4th gear traps), but I like 17/51 even better (5th gear traps)

As long as your right at or slightly beyond your shift point, you're geared pretty close. Low gears can make it a pain getting in the gas in first gear but it should require less clutch slippage.

17/46 (-1 front and stock rear). Results in my signature. Stock motor, stock wheelbase. All you need is a 17T front to start with dont go crazy until you really need it.
