you're not gonna get much more speed out of it, but there are means of obtaining more pulling power and acceleration...but, you're gonna have to pay to play.

Not sure how much power your after but if you install ALL the aftermarket bolt-ons you can find your buddys can am 500 will still kick ur azz. Those v-twins have huge power over our Hondas.
