First off witht he rad valves. Ive heard both sides of the story with these, some say they do great with throttle response and overall give you some small hp. Others, like Trenga racing say that they are a waste(so you can buy thier spacers and reeds from them). If i were you id just buy them for the 130 or so that they are and see what they do, they must be better than the stock. Now for the back tires, get ridda them! they look like crap and perform like that too. A good overall tire for the back would be some razr or Holeshots, though others are good too. Go to Rockymountainatv.com and see what you like and what type of riding you do.

COOL thanx man.
the Raptoid has holeshots, so the Blaster will prob folllow. but that reed valve stuff is truly confusing, even right on trenga's web site!
I dont care what they claim, I wanna know what works!!! your response helps! thanx again!

The Rad Valves work increasing horsepower, also the throttle response is a significant amount improved

They are supposed to give about 2 horspower,dirtwheels reviewed the mosseburg reed valve before and they said it added as much power as a pipe without the noise.

i got a ram valve for my ex-wifes blaster and no it does not add as much power as a pipe it add alot of throtle responce i thought i put them on my banshee and my 330r if you want a snappy throtle get it its worth it if you think it going to add a bunch of hp then dont buy it. but if you do get the reed spacer at the same time it eorth it too and youll already be in there to put it on

I have a boyseen rad valve and it claims 5hp throughout the power band. I completey agree with that claim. Good increase in power and throttle response. Id say its a good investment.
