The list depends on how much you want to spend, how you want the sled to perform, and whether or not the mods will be done by you or by someone else.
And the current condition and mods of the sled.

How many miles?
Some things aren't "upgrades" but rather necessary maintenance procedures or there will be no enjoying of "upgrades"

Rebuild and most importantly revalve the rear shock.
Front shocks, go 2-3 clocks out from full hard on compression. This will help it corner much flatter. Depending on your riding style you might want more front end bite. I used shaper bars, a lot like snow trackers but I have not tried them.
I found with some setup this was a much improved machine.
Go to a 23 tooth to gear. They say that helps a lot on the GT.
If you want speed....supercharge or nitrous.

3000 miles is not that high so you don't need to go "replacement crazy".
Next year you'll need front end bushings & donuts, but let's concentrate on what you want to do to this thing.
How fast do you want to go & how much $ do you want to spend?
There are not many cheap BIG gains.
You can gain a few ponies here & there, but by the time they get to the track, it's minor.
Turbos & Superchargers are expensive & add weight.
Nitrous is simple, but made mostly for racing.
There is a little charger out there called G-Force for around $2000 that gives 2lbs of boost for about 20 hp.
I think you should improve traction & handling this year THEN next year change things up.
It's still a fast sled that can hang with anything out there.
I have/had the exact same sled.
It's my buds' now with 22,000 miles on it.
SnoTrackers, rebuild & calibrate all 3 shocks then set it up properly.
Check & repack all bearings & change the driveshaft bearing under the secondary clutch.
After you ride it, come back here to tell us what you'd like to do cuz we have JILLIONS of miles on these things..............and JILLIONS of opinions also. LOL

Take two teeth off the speedo pickup so your speedo doesn't lie to you, and you will rack up less miles.

Oh man you guys in Chardon get all the Ohio snow.Chardon oh.. you?
I live in Niles but work in Middlefield. Right down the road from ya.
The only real trails in NE Ohio is the Greenway bike trail area. And over closer to the PA border there are the Stateline Snotracker club trails. That's about it for us.
