I read through a lot of posts here and couldn't quiet find what I want or understand some of it. First thing, I keep reading about different stages of modifications. Who does this and do they have a website I can look at? Secondly, I want to increase the load carrying capacity of my 31hp beavertail LT. ITs a slug on a 16 boat with blind and my duck hunting gear. I'm on a budget, so I'm looking for easy and cheaper stuff I can do to it. I would like to spend less than 500$ total in modying. Wondering where everyone would start with the mods.

Have your heads done, and at least open up your stock exhaust.

I had a local race engine shop build my heads to the specs of the iron mountains. Saved a few hundred bucks. That might be a option for ya. Nice thing with local guys if somthing goes wrong I dont have to ship it anywhere. I had my heads back in 2 days
