New carbs or get it bored out if you have the time to yank it apart (and never plan on racing in a 450 class). This is assumming you already have some nice tires.

boring doesn't help... it may help a little but not enough

hi-comp piston
stage 1 cams

There's no reason for you to decrease your reliability with a port job, or by increasing your bore and stroke.

here's a simple, affordable way to get more horsepower out of your machine: Buy a high-compression piston and a stage 1 cam and then try running your machine on a mixture of some high-octane race fuel like VP or Cam2 with good pump gas. You will see a noticeable increase without decreasing your reliability and still having a hundred bucks or so left over to change your gearing with a new set of sprockets and a chain. Up the gearing and you'll be able to increase your top-end speed.
