Pipe, clutch kit, jet kit or fuel controller if FI, better flowing air filter
Them will be the cheapest mods for power

I've been told to do this Cam shaft upgrade and a big bore kit for the biggest power gains.

I like the Mods you listed. are there certain brands that'll work out better than other's.
I don't want go buy a bunch of the stuff and have it not perform cause i got the wrong stuff.

I'm just afraid this fine machine is going to end up parked in the corner of the barn yard and ignored for the next 46mo. . .

I think he called it a Mud buster cam ?
than this big bore makes it a 550 instead of the 500. . .

I took this unit trail riding it seemed like it was working way to hard most of the time i was on the throttle rather hard to keep up !

I don't have the pulling power i need for working it, for fun riding it runs out of go way to fast. . . .

I was hoping it would run out to 65mph but it stopped going at 56mph when i first got it once broke it in and switched it over to Amsoil than she top out at 58\59mph than i flipped the diffs over to amsoil now it'll run 59mph off road and hit 61mph on the pavement every now and than. . .

Tho it did pull my M-275 all of 3FT, so for a short bust it'll tug 10,900LB's till it hits the gravel in 4wd Low range ESP 1. . . than it starts slipping the tires. it went 2 foot fine on the pavement , and with 2 guy's on it one on each rack it slipped and hopped but it crawled the last foot. I wasn't going to fire up the truck just to move it 3ft and shut it down. . .

But towing the wood wagon it gets rather doggy and thats only about 1,500-1750lb's. so i was shocked it worked so hard towing the trailer after moving that heavy truck. . .

When towing the wood trailer I use Low Range and D2 i'll some times use 4WD for even power dist.
