There not much you can do with the Honda Utility motors, they are low reving OHV motors not OHC like all other brands and Honda Sport ATVs motors, thats why Honda Utility ATVs have the lowest HP ratings for there motor size.

Example a 500 Foreman has 27hp vs 36hp on a 500 Sportsman, 39hp for a 680 Rincon vs 46hp for a 700 Grizzly.

well- I'd start by removing that antiquated 27 hp carbed foreman motor, and replace it with a fuel injected 70hp can-am 800 rotax twin

or, you can put 25" tires on it and it'll feel real fast!
