Anything on your wanted list in your sig would be a good next step. It depends on what you want more. If you do a lot of jumping i'd shoot for the nerf bars first, then i'd get rid of the stock pos front tires, then the exhaust system and the porting.

Okay thanks. I do like to jump and get big air, and I can get more air know with the z400 shock on (if I get it on), I ride in every type of terrain (sand in the summer when we move) , mostly snow and trails right now not including the road LOL. I am going to buy the tusk nerfs 'cause they are cheap. I was also thinking about getting a 36 or 38mm carb. So

1. nerfs ( I think its the best choice)
2. lrd pipe
3. front tires
4. porting,
5. probably a yz 85 carb

anythin you think I should get though besides on my list?

I'd also put works front shocks on the list. In my opinion, the front shocks on the blaster are worse than the front ones. Just the cheapest ones ($330 new) are WAAY better than the stock ones. They have a smoother ride, and they smooth out landings outstanding compared to the stockers. I rode the neighbor's 240 blaster with the stock shocks, I thought someone replaced the shocks with pogo sticks or something.

They're better than the stock blaster shocks, but they're still not amazing. They will get the job done though, I do all kinds of jumps, and i'm still running my stock shocks, and even with the extra leverage from the flipped wheels they do good enough most of the time.

Instead of wheel spacers, you could flip the stock wheels, or get offset wheels. It does the same thing as wheel spacers, but it's stronger. I have my wheels flipped, and it made a big difference with my warrior. The only thing you have to do to make it work on the front wheels is put a new valve stem on the inside of the wheel, and put the valve stem on the outside of the wheel in backwards, because it will hit the brake caliper. Since you have to take the bead off of the rim, it's worth the small cost to have a powersports shop do this for you, mine charges $20 to do both wheels. A dealer probably won't do it, or will charge you an arm and a leg for it, but if you have a regular powersports shop in the area that's your best bet.

If you want me to, I can post up a few pics so you can see what I mean, it's kinda hard to explain.
