The CDI is going to cost you some reliability especially with winter starting. You aren't going to get much out of it either without internal engine mods - get a new cam to take advantage of the CDI.

I assume you plan to open the airbox up with the exhaust change and rejetting.

Cambridge is all flat land so I wouldn't go down to a 14 tooth on the front.

Posted by: RiderTRX400ex

depends what you ride and your style

do you ride woods or what

Posted by: journeyman

Beleive it or not, shocks will make you faster. Buy shocks first then get into the motor.

My shock upgrade made me a gear faster through the same trails as stock.

My trail speed really isnt waht im lookin for...im lookin to gain speed in the open feild...but not lose any in the woods

You would need to rejet. HMF can tell you exactly which jets to use.

Recommend talking to one of the cam vendors. They will tell you exactly which one would be best for your setup. Sounds like you want a cam that increases hp more in the mid-high rpm range.
