Default honda magna

whats have some of you done or seen to squeeze lil more power outta the magna. Just had carbs cleaned, new slave cylinder and tune up. Ive heard of ppl spending big money on changing cams and intake only to get 10 horses outta it! Any thoughts anyone? My magna has 23,000 miles Im second owner and put 15,000 of those and custom paint i did.

your not going to get much more power for cheep after the intake exhaust and re-jetting. Some CA model bikes can get big power increases just by changing to the 49state cams. i know the 97' GSXR 600 gains about 11HP to the wheels. you could also try a "flow commander"

The full system consists of, velocity stacks (blue) and a controller for the Air/fuel screws. that way you can make quick adjustments (richer or leaner) with the turn of a ***. supposed make 4 to 8hp heres the link http://flo-commander.com/
