Clutching, gut the airbox, rejet those are some of the best and sheapest thinggs that will help. Also there is a upgrade to the CDI box I believe, but not sure if it does any good to your 2000 or not. Maybe if you are willing to give up a little top end you can drop a tooth on your top gear to give more pull and acceleration.

along with clutching the best bang for the buck is to buy a used set of pipes ( 12 to 16 hp gain) depending on manufacturer

Oh so your looking to really spend some money. There are a number of big bore kits out there for the T-cat but if you are going to use this sled for trails I wouldn't suggest it. But if your just running drags then sure go for a big bore. Out this weekend we saw a group of newer T-cats running some Jawz pipes and Dalton clutches and they seemed to really go and sounded AWSOME. If you do a little search you should be able to see if the CDI swamp is a benefit to your sled.

if your looking to dump some cash, get in touch with one of the aftermarket comapanies about an entire matched kit,,,, someone like d&d, black Magic, etc,,,,,,

forgot d&d- black magic , and the other big bore if you want a big bore for your 1000 cc ,bore whit your artic cylinder and you can have the same horsepower ,don,t waste your money on a false verity !!! bore or stroke your motor is the most reliable kit you can have :hallo1:

on 2000 t-cat your cdi is 3 degree to lower , put a 5 degree key and you are whit a 2001 cdi + 2 degree just whit that you see the difference

Best bang for your bucks is in clutching and jetting, CPR has some deadly set ups for that sled. How fast ya wanna go comes down to how much ya wanna spend.
