How it’s going everyone, just purchased my first Yamaha, I have buddies running same cars and have a lot more acceleration. I’m fairly new to the race world in UTV’s so take it easy. I’m looking at racing in open desert races here in arizona and would like some feed back from all you gurus. Suspension is getting redone but I’m having issues with keeping up on straight aways. Any words of advice? I’ll post pics of everything done to it. Thanks. Also would like to put a turbo kit on but with previous upgrades what do I need/ don’t need to make that happen?

Things affecting your acceleration v.s. others

• are they Sport Shift?
• what clutch do they have/Clutch life/slippage
• overall weight of car, passenger, cargo, fuel.
• rotational mass/drivetrain losses
• beadlocks are heavy and so are the 30" tires
• Type of tire for traction/terrain
• fuel tank, more fuel more weight
• ultra lightweight flywheel, it will help you on acceleration but hurt you on the top end. Most boosted cars run stock flywheel or heavy.

It is sport shift I believe, 2 pedal with the slap shifters, im 180, the car itself isn’t “that heavy” it has a lot of cage though, rear tire replaced to the rear along with 16 gal fuel cell. Idk if the pictures posted but it has a gear reduction kit which may take away top end speed as well?????

If you want to go turbo I'd sell it and get a 19+ that come stock with the engine internal upgrades already done for a turbo addition. You'll probably end up the same cost with a much improved machine.

I JUST bought this machine man, not going to resell, from what I understand it’ll need new rods, it had a aftermarket cam do you have any knowledge of internal engine components needed other then listed?

Welcome, sandman89 is correct about the rods. If you want to turbo your car you will need to do rods or risk putting a window in the block. The 2019s have better rods, but if you are going to do rods in your motor I would use Carrillo's or something similar.

DASA ported head, Carrillo Rods and a BC crank 😚🤌🏼💲

Just drop it off at weller since you are already in Arizona. They will take care of everything!
