Default Rear sprockets for predator 500 and other mods

I want to get a rear sprocket for my predator, I will mostly be doing motorcross and a few enduro events. I was looking at going with the 38tooth rear sprocket that polaris offers. Is this a good choice? How much better will my excelleration be?
I have 300$ to spend this weekend and it will all be going into my true love( My predator).
I was thinking about getting the pure polaris head light covers, Pure polaris kill switch, and a DG- v pro bumper.

How does all of this stuff sound guys? I figure i need a bumper because the stock one is not cutting it, plus i will need the kill switch in order to race this spring. Head light covers are just for looks really,

any input would be helpful

thanks guys for all the help

with a 38 you aint gonna notice much. i would go either 39 or a 13 up front. 1 tooth in the rear is only going to make a slight difference.. you wont feel any gains.
i dont like the type of teather that polaris offers.. i like the clip ones better. and the clip one will last longer.
the headlight covers are really cool looking.. but that 25$ could be spent on some radiator shrouds that polaris sells.
the DG bumper is nice.. but also look at the AC racing one.. thats nice too.. (nothin bad about DG.. just look around if you havnt)

If I was spending $300 for your applications, I'd go with the 13T sprocket up front. Cheap mod and noticable improvement on low end. Open up your airbox (holes) buy a K&N filter for $35 and rejet (cheap too). Get nerfs and the kill switch. Next mod to get: slip-on Pipe.

PredFan,
Does the Predator make it all the way up $100 hill in Flag? When I was looking at new bikes, the guy at Champion told me that the Banshee was the only bike that could make it up. I haven't been there, but I am going this summer.

There aren't many quads that can make it up that hill, but there are others besides the Banshee. I haven't tried it with my Predator, last time I was out there was last summer - and at the time, only had my pipe on, and my jetting was off, so I didn't even bother. I can tell you that there is no way that any stock Pred, Raptor or shee will make it up that though.

PF,
Thanks. I am going to go only once this summer to check it out. I would go more but the boat has much(1000000X) more priority over the quad and riding. Flag is cool, but Havasu it better.

BG, I spend most of the spring/summer/fall weekends on the water too, so I don't get up to Flag as much as I'd like either, even though 80 degees in the summer at Flag is pretty nice!

Desert=Hot=need water!
