Last year i ran a slp single with a cheeter head v force 3 reeds and ran 8000 rpms all day. This year i added psi twins pipes and trail porting and now im olny pulling 7000 on the trail and worse in the pow and on hills.ran 370 jet last year now running 400 plugs look good.primary clutch has 10-62 weights with polars red spring. has team secondary with 54-38er.46/54-40er.46 helixe not sure on spring. Has 19-41 gears Ridding @ 8500 ft.and up in colorado and wyoming. Any sugestions on what to change to get rpms back.

Probably too rich. I ran an 03 Escape with Struthers porting and PSI twins at 3-6k with 390's, needles at 2.5. The pipes would always fall off if they werent hot enough. (Warm days or high elevation with no jetting changes). I really liked these pipes once I got it dialed. 02 is slightly different than 03 in the needles and cdi, but you shoukd be able to make them work.

The PSI pipes work good. Who did the porting?

dougs balncing in denver. The moter came out of an 02 xc. Is there any timeing differances between the rmk and xc due to elevation differance on factory setup?

Try jetting down. I ran 310s on a slp ported 02 800rmk with single at cooke. Ran 450s with race twins at 1200 feet.
