Default Question on Mods

I have had my 2002 vert for about a year and a half. Don't get me wrong I love it and all but I feel that I can still do more to it to make her faster. Can you guys recomend some mods that an average joe (with some experience) can do at home. I wanted mods that would give me more horse power (obviously) and that aren't that expensive. I have sort of a budget. Thanks for all the help .



Mike

Fix the intake first and then the exhaust. The more air your engine can pump the more power it makes.

You can do all of this at home.

If you want an order of mods to follow that worked for me, go in this order.
