Currently running a 13 tooth front and a 44 tooth rear sprocket. I was wondering what would be the
Optimum gearing for low end power. I ride a lot of tight trails and this current ratio isn't doing it. Any
Suggestions?

go to a 12 t front and a 44t rear or anything larger than that and you will have plenty low end grunt, also what size rear tires are you running, if you go smaller tires you will reduce top speed but add low end power. I run a lot of trails and am very happy with my ration on my 85 tri-z, I am running a 14t front and a 44t rear with 22" tires

I'm running 22" rears. I'm a big dude, a lot of ass to pull of the
Line! Lol. Gonna Tri the 12 tooth front. I was thinking 11 but looks like the chain
Will dig into the guide to much. Glad to hear your running 22's I easy starting
To think I made a mistake going that tall.

I weigh about 210lbs, myself, but I'm guessing you are more, I recommend going with the 12t front 44t rear and maybe some 18 to 20 inch rear tires to get the low end grunt you are looking for
