Question Best Bang for your buck

Besides Nitrous, Turbo or Supercharger what do you guys feel is the single biggest motor mod you can do that gives you the most power for the money?

Yeah, the clutch is probably the best... and the airbox is good, but I have to add dropping the stupid stock muffler... get rid of the box and add a stinger of sorts, or a straight through... as long as the noise doesn't get too out of control, I think the muffler restricts a ton of power.

Go out and spend about $20-$25 on a pack of stickers!!!!!!! Each sticker I believe gets you any where from 3-5 hp!!!! Depending one the size. I bet you can get a sticker pack with 8 or so in it.

24-40 hp gain. SWEET!!!!

jk, anyways I would say clutch and exhaust!

SkiDoo2, I have heard that actually REMOVING stickers makes it much more aerodynamic... and creates less drag when moving at higher speeds.
However, I can see the real advantage to having a cool flame sticker on the side of the sled... it gives the impression that no matter how fast you may be traveling, you are always on fire!!!

HEEHEE

That's exactly right!!! Acutally I am removing them this year and replacing with something else. I am thinking about putting the old Bombardier sticker that looks like a gear?

Not sure yet though. Have to hit up the next Snow Show and see what they have to offer!
