what is the best performance gain i can do to my 88 600 kat
ive already got the best exaust money can buy soooo what would be best

probably a sproket change size since you seem to be vague in the questioning, except for the reference to doing it on the cheap (hence the sproket suggestion)

....but it really depends on what you want the bike to do --- racing, stunting....? different apps require different mods
