Well like many people have told me, i guess I will pass it on to you. If I were you i would just save your money and get a different quad.
After putting like 2000 dollars in extras on my raptor 350 I finally realized it will never be able to put out the power that I want. I had the
same circumstances as you, I put the cam in and stuff like that to beat my friends kfx 400. With what I have I can make it a close race,
but I could never seal the deal. We picked up my 06 450er for a couple hundred less than I paid for my 350. Now my friend is the one
adding parts to try and keep up with me.
Just my 2 cents

Wait so with your upgrades your about even with a kfx? that means i'm close. lol I'm to young to get a YFZ which is what i really want. Same for a trx or ltr450. I just dont like the ride of the ltz's, and i'd do all of the same upgrades that i have now except for what i am ordering. Blaster is out, i've blown up too many of those. Banshee, I'm not really sure about,it's a 2-stroke. and is your raptor on ebay right now? if it is we live in the same town.

YES!!!!!!!!! i dont have to get it ported. SWEET!!!!!!!! one more question then I'll stop bugging you. for awhile. You said high tension valve springs. I plan on getting new springs but will the perfomance ones cut it or will i have 2 get the race ones? The race ones i'll probably have 2 keep replacing and i dont feel like or have the cash flow for that.

The difference is in the tops (retainers) which hold the valve spring. What metal they use, the racing uses a lighter top so you have less rotating mass. Either one will work great for your application.
Since this is a racing cam you want to get a good high compression piston to. You should do both at the same time.
Please get the cylinder honed and bored at least one over and do it right. Don't forget gaskets.

.430 web cam,perfomance springs, JE 10.5 piston,renthal 14T. sprocket,outerwear, thats what I'm gonna order 2morrow. I still dont want to get a bigger bore or anything like that because they are very unreliable. maybe when I blow it up then I'll rebuild it right. Thank you for all of your help.

Explain to me why it's unreliable?
I suppose you can just hone it out so the rings seat hopefully it's not out of round.

I mean for a big bore kit. Way higher compression,bigger cylnder,i cant ride the way i do anymore,as far as revving it and durability. And there expensive too.All the stuff ive done has been over a period of time, not a big sum all at once. I'm probably going to start a war here but whatever. I'll look into it more later
