My LRM 800 makes more than 165..
Not picking on anyone here.
I wouldnt say that now.... There are some good deals to be had and you dont need to dump an azz load of money, like your saying. Buying a new sled isnt the right answer here.
I'll be honest, I bought my Gen 2, Big WC Triple for $3,000. I bet its almost light as any sled out there. Or close to it.... I bet it would climb with the best and spent a lot less money.... AND its got a cool factor to it LOL.
Twostroke,
Some times all the simple stuff makes a difference here. Like these guys are saying. Airbox, gearing, rear suspension set-up, Primary and secondary set-up, drop and rolled chain case and so on. I have rode some old sleds that out ran some of the new stuff.... All because of tuning
BUT make sure you write down your starting point and changes. So if it doesnt work, you can return back to what you had. Lot of it is tuning the sled. If you can do that... That is 3/4 of the Battle. People would be shocked on how well you do/run.
Its like Drag Racing... How well can you tune and set-up your ride! Thats what it comes down too. Work with what you got first, before you make major changes to the engine. JMHO
One last thing... Use name brand gas!!! Dont use no name stuff.
So what does it make?
There are a lot of engine guys who say you can't make must more RELIABLE hp than ABOUT 165.
I don't mean this as any disrespect, you have just 4 posts here, so I don't know you.
But just in case you didn't know who psi1200 is, he's got a LOT of time with engines. Have you seen his billet 1100 twin? Or his 1640 triple?

When I bought my 2nd hand '98 700 from a local dealer it had a set of psi twins and a hymark head. I asked how much HP? he gave it some deep thought for a minute and told me "about 155" I thought wow, cool. That was along time ago now and I'm begining to think he was lying 
I'm just picky and can't stand my machines to run anything less then 100%. Starting to feel like I'm in a 95% range now that i've got some good shake down rides in, just fine tuning with gearing now and starting to brain storm my next project..
Got it dialed, rips now, throttle response awesome, runs neck and neck with a piped/clutched m8. Makes stock 800s feel like turds.
42mm carbs - 45p, 300mains, needle second clip
