I need more top end

[89jim]

I have a 1997 Indy Super Sport that I bought totaled 5 years ago.It has a 488 motor.I want to go faster,can I change a gear or something?
I also need a hood,exaust,any help will be great.

What's your top speed now? You're pretty limited with your options. Yes, you may be able to go faster, but you will sacrifice performance in other areas. A 488 isn't exactly a lake burner, but it is a nice trail sled. Clutch it, and gear it.

I dont know my speed,but it isn't enough.I dont wont to get crazy I know it will take away the bottom but I would like 10 or so more.

Something about this thread doesn't add up. Got a wrecked sled, want it to go faster, don't know how fast it goes. Sounds like it already went too FAST
Funny!

I have a 2005 supersport 550 changed the gears from 19/39 to 25/35 I went from a top speed of 65 to a top speed of 71.

Thanks a lot that was what I was asking about,did it hurt the bottom very much?

if you have all those repairs, and want to upgrade the speed.. just buy a new sled with like a 600 motor or a newer 500.. spend ~$2,000 and you should be good to go

I agree with buying a new sled..I once asked the same question when I had an
04 CLASSIC 500. I drove it for 1.5 years then I went bigger. Traded it on a 2002 Polaris XC800SP. Went back 2 years; but faster !!!!!!! can get 110+mph now.

I'm not picking fights here, but I get a kick out of people that think their sled goes as fast as the speedo says they're going. I ran into a guy that was bragging about his 800 going 120, stock, I laughed.

[BIG JAY]

who was that guy awhile back, said his 440 was dooin like 140, I agree some people just don't realize that speedo's aren't all that accurate. (I am not saying that an 800 modded can not reach those speeds).
