Ive heard the it400 engine is similar and will fit in the chassis. I reccomend getting a difernt bike, nothing against the blaster, but suspension and brakes should be modded before the engine goes much furthur.

the 240 kit will definately add alot more power, but you have to make sure you get it ported correctly. If you dont want to spend that kind of money, go for a porting job, new piston, reeds, or something like that. As for tires, I like the shredders, they are similar to holeshots only cheaper and they last longer. As for big jumps, you will need serious suspension. Like triple rate shocks, or dual rates with resivoirs. I have some dual rates on the front of my blaster. When I was at the track this weekend there was one tabletop that only 3 dirtbikes cleared. I cut across the track and hit it in 4th pinned...I came down 1 foot from the landing ramp and I though I broke a shock because I bottomed out so bad. And I only weigh 110 pounds.

My suggestion would be to find a Yamaha TRI-Z 250 and put the motor in that blaster. It will fly and it would'nt be that expensive ethier. You can find them all day for around 700 to 1200 dollars. Tri-z's are very fast and have GREAT torque, they have 33hp. stock.GOOD LUCK

i would save all your money you have been spending on it and just buy a faster quad. unless the blaster floats your boat, keep it.

i'd get a bigger faster quad but, i'm only 13, and i think anything bigger would be to big.

if your going to do suspension and big bore kit think about buying a new quad.. do you know what blaster hop ups cost there not cheap. you will be spending probably 2000.00 in hops up or more from what i read in your list. so if you sell your blaster add the 2000.00 or more you could walk into a 250r or quadracer ETC ETC
