Posted below is from Alba's website, and I'm thinking about buying it. Do any of you think this will have a major effect on the life of my motor?

"Give your Warrior a kick in the pants with our .450" lift cam and Titanium spring kit! Our kit puts a few teeth into the Warrior's bite, and nearly doubles the stock motor's output when combined with our exhaust kit. Agressive riders will love it! Comes with all you need, including cam, Titanium springs, JE race piston kit, and all seals and gaskets."

I just put this kit on mine and they are right - it screams! I also put in a larger intake valve, had the head ported and polished, and had everything ceramic coated while I was at it. After the initial break-in, the first time I went to WOT and hit 3rd gear the front end came up and just hung there until I let off. I was smiling so hard I broke my helmet! I had to go up 1 on the pilot and 2 on the main for the jetting, and 1 step colder plug on 100% VP Red. You might need more jet or an even colder plug if you run a mix or straight pump gas. Reliability wise, anytime an engine make more power, it puts more stress and wear on the rings, bearings, gaskets etc... they will need replacing sooner than stock. You will also be making more heat so changing your oil religiously is a must - this will also help alleviate some wear on your components. Yes, you will have to rebuild sooner, not dramatically though. That however, is more than offset by the increase in power and the look on guys face who is riding the 400ex you just whooped. Great kit, awesome power!

Yes, that is race gas. 'Red' is VP's version of common race fuel and is equivalent to ERC, Trick ect... VP has better quality control though and usually makes a better product. They also make C10, C11, C12 depending on your needs. Need more information of race fuel and how the different brands compare try this site: http://www.centuryperformance.com/racefuel.htm
