    You could put the Hydrotec phase kit on it which consists of heads, tuner, reeds, motor mounts, etc. They know how to really make one scream. I think they have an ad on the home page here.

    B&WB Mag did a 'hyped up' 150 about a year ago. Phase Kit, Tuner, Heads, Reeds, etc. If my memory serves me correct they added about $5,000 and gained about 5mph.

    Re: horse power question (dcbassman)

    You got bad info on price for sure and maybe speed gain... as I said, been there, done that last year... under 2k too... ask the 225s I run with now (or past)... with my 200... post the EXACT link to the article you reference... and soon.
