Default should i upgrade

i have a warrior bored to a 360cc with the head ported and polished. I want to get a k&n air filter, dynojet kit(fmf), white brothers E2 slip-on exhaust, and kenda klaw 20" rear tires.
I was wondering if with these upgrades should i get a cam or not and if so what kind of cam and how much does it cost around

AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME NOT TO UPGRADE A WARRIOR BECAUSE YOU CANT KEEP UP WITH 450'S BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THAT

Possibly slower with 20" tires. That being the case only like 120 maybe 140MPH

Serious about the tires. Gotta raise the gear ratio to go faster topend and smaller tires will lower it.

i dont care about the top end as long as it goes over 62mph
i just want acceleration and power because im going to start trail riding
and the field i ride in now is only 2-3acres

so would the 20" tires be good in that case

and nobody answered my question should i get a new cam or not

You will have to gear up not down to hit 62MPH. With stock gearing 60MPH is screeeaming on a Warrior so with smaller tires its not possible(Im assuming your sprokets are stock size). If I was going to do all that stuff you listed I would proably get a cam but not sure which. If you want acceleration and power I wouldnt worry about top end, you will need to spend a lot of $s to achieve both on a Warrior.

I would do nothing, ride what I have, save my money; trade my Warrior on a Raptor, and pay the difference in cash.

I guess I'm weird, but I think mods are a waste of money unless they're needed for the type of riding you do. I say this because no one ever pays you what the mods are worth, and most people are afraid to buy a modded bike, because they believe its been run to death; and you're selling it because its worn out.

I mostly agree. If your a mechanical guy and have fun working on stuff then thats a good reason to modify. However if you are just into riding then save for the better quad. If you have to ask a million questions ( a few are ok noone knows everything) online or you ask any question about top speed then you probably should save for the better quad and refrain from adjusting or changing anything.
