What type of riding, what other mods???

Cams don't give you power, they just move it around -- so for all-around riding, the stock cam is probably the best option.

love my White Bros. hotcam, it's a bit pricey, but between it and exhaust, you can tune your quad a lot. I ride 40% in the woods, 40% in the open with all the banshee's/250R's, and 20% at the dunes. This cam for me with a really open exhaust helped a lot. I'd recommend a pwr piston instead for the same $$$. Pipe, K&N, sprocket is by far the best bang for the buck. I wish I would have stopped there, $550 bucks ago. I didn't get that much more pwr.

Actually, I couldn't tell at all w/o changing sprockets, but at the dunes, the piston and cam made a huge diff. in HP.

I run a Web Cam 450-451 grind. With a 11.5:1 piston. With any cam you will want to put in a new revlimiter. The stock limiter is almost too low for a stock engine. A cam only works well in combination with a good exhaust, air filter, etc.
