Bigger motor!! LoL The 3.3 or any BB that you can fit. (Or can make fit) As a cheaper route I noticed that my vantage pipe gave me more top end. I am pretty sure that Mr. Tune has had good luck with it as well. I know you can always gear it up a bit but then you will lose low end torque. IMO I would rather have the torque than the top end...

well stock gearing gives you about a middle combination of top end and low end. If you want more top end change to a smaller spur gear or larger clutchbell. Your gonna lose bottom end if your going for top end theres no way of getting around that.

For some reason the one guy at Hobbytown Aurora likes to recommend that Tsai dual pipe? Dunno much about it. Seems it would be more flash than substance. It can't possibly be "tuned" as well as a simple pipe.
I am going to be testing the stock pipe against the Vantage this week. At first I felt the Vantage worked fine, but on the track it seemed to not perform very well. Maybe I just had a bad tune going that day? I didn't get enough time to test with it before racing with it back in Feb.
What you really need for that Revo is a cool set of wheels and tires...like Pythons on Hurricanes!!! See For Sale section......

the dual exhaust from tsai is crap. One guy had one at my LHS and It wouldnt tune at all. Stalled out a lot. Engine temps went sky high. He put the stock exhaust back on and it had no problems.
