Default New guy with a old quad and a few questions...

Hey guys+girls

Im new here and I have a 01 400ex. She is a great machine but has gotten old and tired. I did some searching first so dont bites my head off for this-lol I have your basic mods, looks/bling, axle/ carrier, K&N, Yosh full Rs-3 exhaust, W.B rev box, jetted(sort of), air scoops, PEP steering stablizer and thats about it. I mostly trail ride but we have a good mix of fast/slow trails. I like the fast ones. I could use some recomendations for some parts to get alittle more from my beater. I need a top end, I dont need to jump to a 440 just yet so a 416/426 will do is the cylinder is in good shape. So good piston / compression ratio? (on pump 93) I also want a cam. I do a good mix of high speed/slow trail so I need a good all around cam. I will do some light porting my self and thats about it. I dont need a crazy valve job or expensive carb. Jetting suggestions are good tho. I run 20inch tires so gears are a option also.Also good places to get this stuff. Thanks...

Also in the market for a good set of lightweight wheels / tires for a reasonable price. Recomendations? The 20 inchers are working...
