if your gonna stick with the stock bore, you'll get a better improvement from the stage 1, although you could manage with the stage 2.

i would go stage 1 honestly if you dont plan on every doing anything else

Sparks Timing Advance Key.
Best "bang for your buck" mod you can get for a 400ex.

here's a link to my "How To" with pics...

it depends on how much you want to spend..

you'll hang with him on a mild engine build, but it takes extensive mods to a 400ex engine for it to beat a 450

will the sparks key work well with the 11:1 piston and stage 1 hotcams

The sparks key is not recommended for use with high comp pistons.

at 11:1 compression you will be fine with the sparks key.

go read the entire "How To" thread that I posted earlier, and you will learn just about everything you can think to ask, about this mod.

as long as you stay below 12:1, and no bigger than 426cc, you'll be fine.
