The exhaust cam is advanced one tooth from the factory. It comes with the WR 450 cam, you have to retard it one tooth to match it up with the YZ 450.

Check out this site for a little more info: http://www.gtthunder.com/YfzCammod.html

This site would be awesome but my browser doesn't load the pictures, I'm pretty sure its a problem on their end: http://www.atvoutdoors.net/?ContentID=15&CategoryID=4

This Mod Makes a World of Difference .. the Only Thing i Have Noticed is a Very Occasional Sputter at High RPM's ( Probably Just Jetting )

I think I'm going with the yz CDI to raise that another 500RPM...
Why not wait for the Vortex? From my conversations w/ #1 @ Vortex, I believe it's not far out.

if someone can show a substantial gain with one, I will consider.
I would agree - let's see what Vortex does.
