The HRC kit! It is the best bang for your buck. You get a new cam, header, uncork the exhaust, open up the airbox, jets, etc. The fastest 450 I know of, has nothing but a HRC kit on it.....

The kit will net you mostly mid and high end. If I wanted more low end, then I would go with the FMF MegaBomb header and one of the Q mufflers.

one of my buddys has one of those kits and it really did a lot for his but i do a lot of trail riding and some creek riding and wasn't sure if it would be the right choice for that.

change the front sprocket toothing( i dont know what it should be but you find that out) that will give you some throttle response. exhaust and intake.

Front sprocket if already a 13. That's my limit, seeing that a 12 can be hard on the chain.

Bottom line, if you are a trail rider, should have probably gotten a 400EX instead!
