To put serious power to the rear, chain is the preferred method. Look at the fast from the factory type bikes (ie crotch rockets) All chain drive, been in on a build of a SCARY fast sporty. Converted to chain drive for dragstrip.

While you're at it, go with a sprocket brake.

You can get a lot more meat on the rear with a chain too.
