Default Wolverine 450 engine mods?

I have an 06 Wolverine 450, I put a GYTr pipe, air cleaner and jetted the carb. I am looking for more out of it though. I would like a lot more low and mid out of it. Does anyone know of a cam for this bike yet? Anyone done the heads? different pistons? Any ideas? I am understand it is the same engine as the Kodiak, any performance mods out for the Kodiak that would work on the Wolverine? I would like to make it in to a bada.. trail, 4x4.

Thanks.

You could get more low to mid out of a clutch kit

Yeah the pipe, jetting and air filter definetely helped to wake the wolverine up a little, but I want more. I chose the GYtr pipe because that is what power yamaha talked me into, the recommended it over the other. There were only like to pipes made for it right now. They had the jet kit, where they get it from? I would assume yamaha since the pipe is from them. You definetely won't be pulling wheelies with it after these three mods, but maybe some more out of it and make it kind of a sleeper.

I am a structural Fireman/Paramedic, its a great carreer, we all love going to work every day.

I put some thought into getting the wolverine piped and it seems the gytr is the way to go. The hmf is only a slip on and everyone i have talked to said it isn't worth the money.

So far the only internal engine mod I have found is a Webcam camshaft that is for the Kodiak 450. I don't have it yet though. I will have an EPI sport-utility clutch kit installed in the next couple of weeks. I will report back when it is in.
