Default 1987 lt230 help

Hi, im new to this site and was wondering if you guys could help.
i have an lt 230 and its bored over .20. problem is that when i ride with my friend in which he has a 1991 trx 250x he always leaves me when were riding. i would love to be able to at least keep up with him or mabe beat him if its possible lol.
What do you guys suggest i do to make my quad faster than what it is now?
Thanks for the help!

he also beats me on top speed also.
would you recommend me getting a big bore?
the one i was looking at would put me at a 260cc.
would it be worth it? would it give me what im looking for?
