Most HP for $

[440exnacsracer]

i have a 450ex and i want to know the single best thing i can get to have more power...no stupid stuff like that turbo kit...i wish i had that much $. well heres what i have from filter to silencer. k&n filter-modified carb- JE 11-1 piston-modified header - Hmf silencer. im also probably getting the head ported and polished. i was debating 3 main things- cam, header and carb, but i really dont have the $ for a carb. thanks for any help. lata

Definately suspension if you don't have it yet.

450ex?
do everything you said and bore the carb to save $

have it. works trip. rate fronts rebuilt by TCS and a stock TCS rebuilt and revalved rear. shes as wide as i want her stock cause i ride trails a little, but i want more power, or i was thinkin of either buyin new tires or that nacs racin kit with the graphics, shock covers and seat cover. i have those crappy bandits on the rear and i have the front ones that are pretty good. i can spin those bandits through 5th gear though....no hook up
