I ride a 2018 Skidoo 850. I'm looking at upgrading some parts to make it have more response and more power. What do you guys recommend I do? I do not want to Turbo it

You didn't state which track length is on the sled, but can offer the following list:
Start with making sure the clutch surfaces are clean and the entire clutch surfaces are being used.
Is the engine reaching optimal RPM? Adjust with clutch clickers.
Run fresh 91 non ethanol fuel.
Install a smaller top sprocket in the drive case.
Check the track tension, if too tight it will rob power.
Additionally you may want to check the compression to verify the engine is within spec.
Beware of aftermarket cans, many actually cause a power loss.
What cans cause power loss? And do you have any more info on that
Sorry you will need to do your own research on that. A "good" Ski-Doo tech will have your answer.
I wanted more power as well and similar response as stock but didnt want a turbo. I did a lot of research and went with a Trygstad 927 big bore kit on my 2018 850 165. It does not have the big end like a turbo but is a riot in the trees and in technical riding situations. Im very happy with it.
A monster sticker will get you 5 hp as long as it’s a light weight sticker
How much weight reduction is there when removing foam & felt? Any downside? Will removing the felt behind the secondary dampen the air flow around the clutches on the 19's with the new clutch cover & vent? How about the felt under the hood? Does it weigh anything or needed as a heat shield? I haven't noticed any water retention in the foam around the clutch area. Does it add up to any substantial weight loss if removed? Thanks.
