not a bad idea to upgrade the clutch basket to handle extra power.
lighten the bike up as much as possible
big bore/ stroker/ nitrous/ turbo, pick a combo or just one, be prepared to spend a ton of money if you get to the bottom of the list

How hard is it to seal? Where are the problem areas?

Thanks

Build a plug for the front intake and blow in compressed air.

Use your hands and ears to find and seal all the leaks.

I used high density foam, caulk tape, silicone and even some black electical tape in places to do all the sealing.

How much of a HP difference does this make? I thought about sealing mine but if not racing is it worth it?
