If you were to ask Arctic Cat they would say that 7200-7400 is optimum performance. I would agree. Acceding 7500 on the 1000 with out adding fuel via BD or Power Commander is not recommended. I have found that adding a gram or two to you cam arms is helpful, also reeds and y pipe really bring the motor alive. A can is nice, it will loose you some weight and it will sound nice, but I did not like the performance of the can until I added reeds, Y Pipe and BD box. Good Luck...
You can get better lift control without sucking the limiters up by loosening the front shock & adding a bit of psi to the float.
Try different things, I hate the limiter being sucked up, you might love it, personal preference.
7300 is right on the money. If you hit 7400 you're losing power on a stocker. The ideal is 7200-7250.
You'll love the sled, they're a blast.
Add Y pipe & bdx intake, big performance gain for little money & also weight loss from the front of the sled.
