    I would suggest TC MX grind cam for higher revs.A good port and polish job to help it breathe and a good pipe like a Sparks.Whatever cam you get make sure it is a drop in cam.There will be no need to get hard faced rockers and such.

    cam, pistons, and gaskets is all you will need. other things like porting, lightening flywheel, carbs, etc will all help out over time but you don't need any of that right now.
