It would make a decent difference to switch from 48/16 to 46/17. 46/17 is close to what *most* people like to ride on the street. If you're doing tricks you'll probably want it even higher. 46/19 would make you have lots of torque and skid patches. It wouldn't be that fast but it would be a lot better for tricks. I rode 32/18 (extremely low) on my single speed mountian bike and it was great for popping wheelies and stuff.
You might want to ask this question in a Fixed gear free style forum since there are very few of us here who deal with the tricking side of fg bikes. Not that we wouldn't love to have more, I just think we might not be the best at recommending trick track setups
