I dont know the HP but the stock engagement it about 3700 rpm and shift is about 8000rpm. i run stock except for thined headgasket and carbon fiber reeds and stay pretty close to these rpm's. This is from the service manual but i could not find any spec's for stock HP.

You need the higher engagement as the pipes hurt on the low end and yuo will have a big bog. I had a96Xt with twins and it finally came alive around 20 mph. HP Gains with twins I think was inthe 12-15 hp range.

Check the condition of your rollers and weights. Check for flat spots and make sure the bushings are in good conditons. My clutch was acting eratic with dead spots at mid rpm and that was the problem.

ok been messing with it all bushings are good rollers good, found that bad spot is in needles and were secondary starts to shift put needles were they are stock and it made a difference alot smoother if you have to drive in slow zone 15/20 had ppp spring with 2 shims and couldnt get engagment high enough so changed to hauck blue now engagmant is 4000/4100 which is ok and changed helix to hauck k which took secondary shift(bad spot) two around 5900 but after shift drops to around 5500 when driving slow, but now out of hole is good and can only check wot in about 1300 ft and am pulling 8500 not full shift, have 6.7 grams per weight started with 5.3 stock next will try ether 7.2, 7.6 or 8.1 per weight i think those are only combos two bring down wot rpm but dont know how to fix bad spot 5100/5600 have to keep low speed load out of that range

I wondered the same thing, i believe it has been noted the the bender twins are very similar and therefore the same or close to the same numbers.
Those numbers make you want to throw a turbo on too don't they

Mine was like that when it was studded the idiot i got it from had almost 300 studs in it. Pulled the outside and dropped it to around 144 and it could turn but still pushed with worn carbides, i have 0 studs and 2" carbides and cab turn REALLY tight now.
You may want to turn up the front shocks. That will increase the ski pressure which will keep them planted and let you turn better. I only turn about half way or so around corners.
