I have a 2012 800 etec 163 track. I find I would like more track speed, what would people suggest for gearing? Sled is bone stock and I don't need the top speed it does now.

Its geared 19/51 stock....ultra low tractor gearing, lol. But it works decent with the stock clutching. You can try gearing up a tooth or 2, but the issue guys run into is this will often make the backshift lazy or not regain RPM.
Before changing anything, make sure you are running enough pin weight to pull it down to 7900 on a climb on clicker 3-4. If its on 1-2 or 5-6 then there is room for a little improvement with only a pin weight change.
