I would have to say you are on the right track. On mine I bought the pipe and silencer first and then added some torque reeds and a reed spacer. The pipe and reeds are fmf units and the silencer is a fmf turbine core shortened by Bucksnort Atv to help add torque. I also got my reed spacer from them. That is what I use. It might not necessarily be the best combination to use; but it works for me. If you are on a budget (I think we all are!) the reeds and reed spacer would be the cheapest of all to buy. I think probably about $20 for the reed spacer and $35 for reeds. I never had a RAD valve but a couple people I talked to said they are overrated and over priced.

I would have to agree the rad valve is overated. I noticed very little if no power gain and I put the stock one back in because I am running a 38 mm carb and the rad valve choked down the intake considerably.

I dunno about you but my blaster has too much low-end, its great for racing but besides that she needs alot more top-end flying power, expesically for dirt roads/etc... I gotta buy a banshee...

You can always downshift for more grunt, you can only upshift so many times...
