np Bud, let us know what you end up going w/ & how ya like the gearing...

 

yeah, thanks for the pics man, I learned something myself about the 450 now. God I want one so bad.

you ever race a KFX400 with it yet? I wanna see how close it is.

 

Well I also hav a 03 Z w/ 13:1 piston stage 2 hot cam's, intake, alba pipe/header & a few other mod's, My Z smoked my R stock but after the 15tooth/ ehs lid, & plug out of the can it felt like the R had another gear & left the Z in the dust....

 

did you do all of the work to your Z yourself or have a shop do it? I don't have all of the tools to do pistons and cams, but I've always thought about playing around with the quads when it comes to motor mods.

How much do you have dumped into the bad boy?

 

Yes I did all the work to my Z myself, 1st year I did nothing to it, 2nd year I updated the piston/cams/intake/alba pipe/header/Henson clutch & took the Z all apart, Had the frame gusseted & powder coating, 3rd year I added the alba front end +2w+1f with the elka piggy/shock, I also added the G-force adjustable rear axel, & houser +2 steering stem & felxx bars... total coin?? I hav no idea...10k with everything, just guessing @ that #...but ya have to look @ protection/bars/sprockets & all the thing I just went threw + ..but I know if I added it all up, the wife would not be pleased....

lmao...I understand the feeling. Not married myself, but I can only imagine and feel for you my friend. That's a pretty penny. Hopefully that's including the price of the quad too! With all that work, that z should fly.

I've always wondered about reliability problems when it comes to upgrading pistons and all that on a quad, but from what people say on here...it doesn't seem to be an issue if done properly.
