Default Hello ! I want to learn.......

I just joined this buggy forum and I enjoy learning as much as I can from guys that have been where Im trying to go..... More performance is my goal with this buggy. I want to make it more trail worthy, by running largers tires for ground clearance.... I've been reading alot of info on things to do to improve power... I want to set this buggy up to have more low-end power than top end power.. I want it to climb with the larger tires. I am aware of changing the roller weights to lighter sliders... but any specifics on this ? like actual weight of sliders for a 25in Mud-lite or so... I have a supposedly performance coil and a E3 plug in it and all Amsoil sythetics.....what else for power ? U think 25's way to big even with mods, keep in mind I want just a climber with ground clearance..... I also understand I am limited because of what it is, but surely theres room for improvements........ I have a 2012 RZR 800 for me and the wife.... I'd like to set this thing up for my 2 boys to be able to some-what ride with us...... I am strongly considering an ATV engine/tranny swap too.... Im going to look at a running 4trax for $200...
Sorry so long...... So many questions..... Im ready to absorb !

Thanx- This let's everyone view the buggy in the thread.I know you had them in your album & the top of the forum home page.
A 25" mudlite is a pretty big/aggresive tire(stock is about 19"?),check for clearance!! I'd leave the stock rollers in till you mount the tires to see what you have -bottom end torque wise. Is the front end getting a taller tire? look at the size that's on there now and see what type of clearance it has when in a full turn and suspension is fully compressed to see how much taller you can go.
