I just picked up a 98 Blaster and fully intend to modify the heck out of it and want to know what works and waht dosen't. Mostly it will just be ridden for fun at the dunes and the Mx track, but I may race ot some as well. (MX only, no cross country) I know it needs to be wider and longer, but by how much. I was figuring on getting a +3 DuraBlue axle and +3 A arms, and maybe a +2 swing arm. Or should I go +1 on the swing arm and +3 width +1 Foward A arms to keep the center of gravity the same. Who makes the best +3 arms ? As for the shocks I will probably go with Works units. Should I run a lot of sag to keep the bike low and still have plenty of travel, or go with a more conventional stance? The motor will be bored to it's max cc (140 is the max?) and I will have it ported as well. Should I bore the carb too, or does it kill any low end power the bike makes?
I know this is a lot of questions, but since this is my first quad ( I have raced MX bikes for years) I want to do it right the first time. Any tips are appreciated, as well as dealer recomendations.

Thanks,
Jason
