What is the best way to get more power out of a Sportsman 500 when running over sized tires??? I think that I remember someone saying that an air box modification could actually do more than a pipe...which is understandable...so any help would be nice...and for you guys out there that are running 28 inchers on your 500s (not HOs) how much does it effect the power??? do you have to use low range more??? and what mods did you do if you needed more power...thanks
