basically with any quad your best avenue to first modify for power is exaust and intake. if your going to run a K&N filter id reccomend getting an outerwears and if your going to run with no lid id reccomend the outerwears water-resistant cover for splash. I dont know if they make full exausts for your bike but as long as a little more noise isnt a problem then a slip on will help you with airflow. Dont forget after either intake, exaust or both you have to rejet before you ride AT ALL. if you dont know how to jet I highly suggest having it done somewhere that knows how. your better off learning to jet on an old lawnmower that only costs you 50 bucks if you do it wrong isntead of melting your engine on your baby.

back in the day my buddy had a green 220. From previous experience Id say investing in some 1.5 inch wheel spacers for all four wheels would be a great thing to do. its a real narrow bike and going fast wont help you if you cant go any faster around the corners.

id say thats a good start on what you could do. Exaust, intake, and some wheel spacers. I did 1.5 inchers on my wolverine last year and it made such a difference in handling. I also jumped up in tire size so it needed it but its still an improvement, and the stance looks much better too.

if its the IDSX or the IDS2 they both make pritty good power, and that seeems like a reasonable price.........if they make one, get a high comp piston too that will give you some decent power gains
