Have you tried adjusting your shocks.
I'm 6'1" and 225-230lbs. My shocks are fine. I'd go with power.
I just put in a wiseco piston with a web cam also had my head ported. It's great now.
With 700 bucks get a pipe, K&N Filter and a cam with valve springs. That should take up your 700 bucks. You can get a piston and have it bored for another 100 or so.

I just noticed you already have a pipe and filter.
Go with the cam valve springs and piston.

Mudda,
I race Moto with mine already. Like I said I happen to think my suspension is fine. It took a while to adjust to my weight but once I have I've enjoyed. I bottom My front a bit. You can tell the fenders and shaved a little where the tires scraps across. But it's nothing that makes me land hard though. I've never bottomed my rear.
I also jump a plateau at our local track which about 50 feet. I've got some pics (from about a year ago)I need to scan in. I'll postem in about a week

Damn how do u people who are 240 on a warrior not bottom out the shocks? I weigh 140 and i bottom out my shocks most of the time on jumps and thier not longer than 15 and i maybe come down from 6 feet in the air. I have my shocks on the hardest setting front and back.

Well, I guess I'm going to go against the tide here. If it is a question of one or the other I'd go(and did go)with the other, that being the suspension.What good is power that can't be applied to the wheels or controlled? The front shock adjusting that others talk about is merely spring pre-load. What is needed for serious riding is better damping, & rebound which means better valving, etc. Get some decent front shocks and you will find you can ride your present bike way faster with much more control in corners, whoops, jumps, etc. than you ever thought possible. The Warrior rear shock is a pretty good one & can be rebuilt & upgraded when you need to do it. The 20 click rebound damping adjustment will allow for a variety of conditions. I run TCS's & couldn't be more satisfied. My Warrior corners like it was on rails & the cans allow for 20 click compression adj.C.T.Racing does a fine job of building the shocks to your style, weight, and skill level when you talk to them & give them the real deal without blowing smoke.
