Pulley teeth

What difference would it make if you put a 70 tooth pulley in place of a 66 tooth stock pulley. Assuming they are exactly the same width?

You will gain a few ( not many) extra RPM at the same speed. Remember, the larger pulley might require a longer drive belt.

The 70 tooth will also have you revving higher at cruising speed, make 1st gear a stump puller gear, and lower overall gas mileage while (possibly, depending on other factors) providing more rapid acceleration.
