Serial # OT494213
2002 150 XR6
Received this motor last year and want to make some upgrades to it to get some better performance.
Been reading on here about some mods you can make that will slightly increase its output, but still had a few questions.
I read that removing the Idle stabilizer and setting WOT timing to 24 degrees is an easy way to see some gains, however for my model year the shop manual makes it seem as if my motor does not have this module, is that correct?
I plan to install Chris carson reeds, and while I've got it down to there, would it be worth it to get the heads cut? What kind of increase would I see from getting the heads done?
Some mention changing out the tuner, but would I suffer some low end power loss going that route?
And last mod was the hood scoop, Ive heard it mentioned, but cant seem to find the specifics.
Thanks for the advice
