Want to upgrade motor

I was woundering what my options are on changing motors
Ihave a 2002 max 2 with 16 vangard, I put on my true trax and thay work awsome but I NEED MORE POWER I was thinking of a 23 vangard but sonds like could be some work I talked to Richard at route 6x6 and he suggested a 20 that would bolt right in,does any body now if that would do the job to to give some more oomph!!!

The 23 has different heads, so your stock exhaust manifold wouldn't work. But I wouldn't want to settle for a 20 if buying new. The 23 also has a 50 amp charging system option.
