Default new and got a 2005 raptor 660

Hi guys, I'm new to this group. I bought myself a nice raptor for $1700. Its basically stock except for the FMF slip on. I am soon going to be stationed at Ft Irwin Cali which is out in the Mojave desert. I'm wondering what mods I can do to make it faster, and have better suspension. I don't really have a budget but I don't want to go crazy with it either. I am a pretty good fabricator and I know how to S
tick MIG and TIG weld.

Here is my list of mods I'm considering:

New trans gears
Clutch kit
Rod
13:1 CR piston (maybe less)
port & polished 700 head (still need it cleared up if this just bolts on or if it needs a 700 jug)
Big bore kit (still unsure, depends on cylinder condition)
widen and lower bike.
Extend the swing arm 4 inches
Thoughts??
ps Sorry I realized just now I wasn't really supposed to ask for help in this section. can and will move if its a problem.

Thats a good deal on a Raptor 660. I'd just put new tires on it to replace the bald ones it has and ride it.

The tires are actually really good, just the pic doesn't show it well. I planned on getting some paddles for it anyways
