Best mods for horsepower

[DenverR1]

I just upgraded from an RT1000 to an XP800. I absolutely love the sled hands down. The ONLY thing I miss about the RT is the horsepower, approx. 20 hp difference. (I weigh 280) What are the best mods any of you would suggest to up my horsepower? I don't think I'd be interested in nitrous and don't have the $$ for a turbo. Thanks

I'm in the same boat! I'll probably do a single pipe/can. maybe nitrous.

Probably a head would be your first bet to free up some horsepower

do the head first, then y pipe,can and airbox mod. filter the air box so you can draw cold air. i put a vent right by my left leg in side panel. works good, no bogging and you feel the power differences. and you can do it yourself and not to expensive.

Head and Y pipe for a good gain
Big John Big bore for a real boost

I would say just get it clutched right, and get the power to the ground. A head mod helps out quite a bit on the bottom end and with throttle response IMO. Other than that, you might want to consider a BB.
