Sorry Hank. After the 2T model was discontinued after 2103, there has been really no discussion on any for sure way of derestricting the Super 8's. If its a 4t, then I think the derestriction will involve the CDI and replacing the shouldered boss/washer with a smooth one.

Possibly this kit

I would not invest in a new exhaust or big bore kit unless you can get to 37 MPH with CDI/Boss derestriction first; and even then, since its not a 2T, a new exhaust or bigbore may not help it much.
