--An RKT drop in kit would do more than just give reliability as it also adds balance and power. After that

you could still would have money to get a 2.6 power claw track(would also need to add drivers)

If I wanted to mod my motor and couldnt afford either carls, dans, or brads big bore or a turbo, i would do this engine kit......

especially if I wanted more power and reliability.....now if I wasnt worried about the power/reliability, I would do a camo extreme with either a belt drive.. those are the mods that make a noticable diff in my opinion.........

Depending on your riding style, shock upgrades go a long way IMO. However, if you just do the front, you will expose how spongy the back are. You can't do both the front and back for $1k unless you only upgrade the existing shocks with a revalve.

I have X1's all around and what a difference it does to the Pro!

If you are wanting front suspension go exit. Better service than Raptor and a great product all around. In fact I just sold my Raptors...
If you are willing to spend a little more get the x1 track shock too. SOLID setup right there.

You could revalve existing shocks and do some aftermarket running boards. Smoother ride and no more problems with snow build up. May not be the performance upgrade you want, but the gain is still awsome and you would probably have enough money left over for a tied clutch depending on the boards you go with.

If you don't have something already check out Feethookers running board inserts! Only 165 so you'll still have a lot of $$$$ left or other stuff.

Tore my 11 down to install the Northstar kit, the sled have 600 miles on it and the cylinders looked brand new not a skuff. The piston looked new other than the top and bottom corners were they rock. The northstar piston's are a nat's a$$ thicker and a lot taller. They have six little holes on the sides to let oil through. Good idea. Can't wait to go testing.
