Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

If I were you I would be happy to get it to run with a modded 400 Explorer or old 400 Sportsman.

Try Hotseat performance. They have a speed kit that will get you close and then get a bigger carb and cam, it will scream.

Check out Aaenperformance.com. They offer power kits for the 500 engines. They also carry the H.O. updated camshaft, larger carbs, and they do head porting. I would say that you would want the Sportsman 500 (pre-H.O.) Stage V Power Kit. This will run you $1218. With it you get muffler, longer duration cam, high compression piston, better carb,head porting, their aggressive clutch kit, and an empty wallet. I myself have been looking into their power kits for my Scrambler 500 H.O., so I can't really tell you how good they really are. You can be my guinea pig if you want [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
