what would be the best bang for buck for my z400? a $500 39mm FCR carb, or a set of hotcams for $280?

$353 FCR40 carb, TRX450R throttle cable, and a Honda thumb throttle. But this is only good if you have an exhaust and a good air filter, the same can be applied to the cams.

Now do the carb and the cam and you can be around $500, but the exhaust will be restrictive and that's another $400, and don't forget about the $60 jet kit for the carb....

my z400 has a pc slip on, 160 mj, and a uni filter.

For about $565 you can do the carb, jet kit, and hotcam intake cam. Or just do the carb first and see if you need the cam(s). You can also do the DRZ gasket which will bump you up to 12:1 compression for $22 more.

Carb, and cable from Servicehonda, jet kit from James Dean at Thumpertalk, and you can probly get the Intake Cam from C&D for $125 or less. You might be able to find a used cable or a new one a bit less as well as a honda thumb throttle which can be found everywhere.

dont buy a jet kit, just simply buy the jets you need, it will cost you maybe 3 bucks a jet total, saves a whole bunch of money
