I would not go with the 470. It is to far into the cooling slots in the head. I would go with the 453 it has less chance of leaking prescious coolant!!! I have the 453 and had port and polish done and put Web Cams (PN: 70-592) Kehnin 41mm Flat slide and it is awsome. I rode with a guy that had the 470 and I coulod blow him away. He rode mine and said the same thing. It is a combination of alot of small things that make a bike fast. You can not just do a little and expect alot. it takes all of the parts to compliment each other and make the bike fast. I race hare scrambles in the FTR ( Florida Trail Riders ) www.ftr.org and it is awsome. I have only raced 1 race this year but put on a good season last year. I am in no danger of winning in the sand bagger class but I like to race. Especially since I am 40 and racing with a bunch of 16 to 18 year olds. There are usually 60 bikes in the start line of my class and I will always beat them into the woods. Just dont have the stamina to keep it up. Enjoy your ride man!! If you want a great shop for head work and other machining, let me know.

I would post pix but imagestation usually doesnt work. The yellow z in the album is mine.

Before Rebuild:

Engine:
-Ported head
-Kibble White Valve Springs
-Stage II Hotcams
-HMF Full Exhaust Powdercoated Yellow
-FCR40mm carb
-Aluminum Airbox
-250r K&N
-Dyna Ignition
-Vp U2 Race Gas
-Alba Oil / Starter Covers
-Custom 14,000 RPM Tach

Chassis:
-Ac Bumper
-Ac Nerfs w/propeg and heel guard
-Carbon Fiber Gas Tank Cover
-03 One Industries Graphics Kit and seat cover
-PRM .160 skid plate
-Tinted Headlights
-Elka Front Shocks
-Re-valved Rear
-Shocker Shock Covers
-Custom Carbon Fiber Sheet Graphics
-Alba Number plates
-6 Ply Razrs all around on Douglas Rims (20x11x9), (21x7x10)
-Billet Gas Cap
-Alba Shifter / Braker

I think that is all that was done to it.

Wait till you see the after re-build......Totally different quad....
