Performance upgrades for injection VEctor exept turbo

[super_rash]

Hello all,
i haven't been in this section in a long time, i'm looking for a used Vector to ride fast and light. i need power steering and prefer the light feel of the vector instead of the heavy feel of the apex, but i would like 10-15 hp more and 10-15 km|h more out of the vector...

i'm thinking clutch kit, smaller gear (one tooth), excell header, commander 5 box.

with this, will i get my objective ? what else can there be done,

thanks.

Curious what the weight difference between the Vector and Apex.

 

[super_rash]

about 70 lbs, but the feeling difference is big..

Wow. Didn't realize that the Apex motor was that much heavier. If that is accurate Vector should have a large power to weight advantage over the Apex making it faster than the Apex.

OK, after looking it up, it's about 40 lbs but it feels a lot heavier in the ruff stuff, i had 2 ltx apex's before power steering and a Vector LTX and it was so much lighter to drive, lower center of gravity also.

power to weight is still greater with the apex....usually 10lbs = 1hp but, the engines power delivery is vastly different between the two motors. I actually prefer the vector motor for its torque for regular trail riding.....oh ya that is until you hit a wide open space and the apex goes blowing by you.

super_rash...ulmer racing has a kit that sounds like what your looking for.

cheers

According to maxsled.com, the wet weight between a vector and an apex is only 5lbs, from the 2008 MY.
